INS alignment

[Iceviper]

Sorry don't have a track. Is INS gnd alignment broken? Tried to align last night. EHSD>DATA>AC but odu stays dark so unable to select position. Flipped it to IFA and it lit up and allowed coordinates but didn't start alignment however after a few minutes route showed. Guessing its a bug and hopefully can be looked at when things with Razbam go back to normal. I have the option set to require alignment so its not a settings issue.

SOLUTION: 

It is probably a bug but I managed to solve the problem with help of my team mates. My TDC was bound to axes on a throttle. It seems that any unintentional small movement of the TDC slews ALL the waypoints in a flight plan, even if you're out of the DATA mode. Adding small dead zone solved the problem. 

 

I have another problem with INS but your topic title matches and falls within the scope of what I am dealing with.

My issue is INS drift. I've had the Harrier for at least a couple of years and I didn't have previous problems with it. Approximately 2-3 months ago, my INS started drifting at a very rapid pace, i.e., the distance to the waypoint increases when I am flying directly towards it. I tried renaming and recreating the Saved Games folder, but it didn't help. I also went through the ground start training mission thinking that maybe I missed something, but I did everything correctly.

Here are the steps after the engine start:

1. I type in coordingages in EHSD-> DATA: Lat, Long, Mag Var ( also tired with True Heading)
2. I switch to GND Align. 
3. The alignment starts and counts down to 0.7 OK. 
4. I switch to IFA. 

The INS starts drifting when I get up in the air or mayne even earllier. It makes the module completely unplayable. 

Here's a link to the video illustrating the problem. I tried setting pre-aligned heading but it hasn't changed anything.
