Ruthenican Posted April 7, 2024 Posted April 7, 2024 Good evening, I noticed recently whenever I manually do any alignment, my steerpoints and markpoints are completely off. I have discussed this on multiple discords, and everyone led here. I ensured that I am utilizing the correct coord layout, not letting the jet be disturbed while aligning, and also the year of the missions (after 1994). I have tried every map, but only in single player, and have tried Persian Gulf in multiplayer. I have noticed that if I do an air start, it is completely fine. I have I9-990K, 2080 TI, 32 gb DDR4 on Windows 11. DCS, windows, and Geforce is updated. I have attached the track for reference, and I look forward to your response! exampleINS.trk 1

ED Team Lord Vader Posted April 8, 2024 ED Team Posted April 8, 2024 Hi @Ruthenican Like @QuiGon said, the next update will be a overhaul of the entire INS system. For that matter, instead of trying to figure out what you are experiencing, we prefer you wait for the next update and then try again, making sure to report any further issues. Thanks for understanding. 1 Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
ED Team Lord Vader Posted April 8, 2024 ED Team Posted April 8, 2024 Hi @Moonshine More information will be shared in the near future regarding this new INS system. The newsletter was just an introduction. If after that information is shared you have more questions, feel free to reach me or @BIGNEWYfor further talk on. Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
Moonshine Posted April 8, 2024 Posted April 8, 2024 thanks. removed my comment. looking forward to see more info
Ruthenican Posted April 14, 2024 Author Posted April 14, 2024 Hello again, I feel embarrassed, but I want to provide an update for anyone facing a similar problem. It turned out the issue wasn't with INS but with the alignment of HMCS facepalm. Once I corrected the HMCS alignment, everything worked fine. I didn't know about this feature before, and I hope sharing this can assist others who encounter it. Thanks to everyone for their assistance and responses. 1 1
Shrike88 Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 maybe off topic apologize however would the new INS and alignment cause the datalink of SPI or waypoints to be off on the other recieving aircraft when online multiplayer ? seems no matter if its a WP HSI datalink share or even a TGP markpoint share they are always off (wrong coordinates transmitted) to the other aircraft ? THanks

Thanks for coming back with the solution. If you had the issue the chances are that someone else will in the future and your post may well help them solve the issue.

THanks Hi @Shrike88 I've not seen this myself in my tests. If you can reproduce it, please create a new thread and supply a track for our analysis. In any case, please remember that all steerpoints and markpoints are registered with the coordinates AND aircraft drift. This can cause offsets when comparing positions, which is expected since each aircraft has its own alignment drift. Thanks. Esquadra 701 - DCS Portugal - Discord
Shrike88 Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 Ok Thanks @Lord Vader. I will test some more. If still reoccurring I will create a report with attached track and info.
