gatordev Posted June 5, 2024 Posted June 5, 2024 I'm not making this as a bug report because I'm trying to see if I'm the one in error or if others have seen this pop up again... After one of the last major updates, the Hornet INS vs FLIR drift issue had finally been fixed. I didn't realize it was a bug until I saw the bug report and it finally explained why I would always see my targeting symbology no where near where the pod was pointing on the Hornet. After the update, it seemed to work great (all of this is on "modern" MP servers with GPS). Fast forward to several days ago and I was playing on the Grayflag server (Syria) and I started completely missing with JDAMs and LGBs (GBU-16s) as the flight progressed. Finally, after the last pass, I saw that my symbology (diamond in the HUD or HMCS) was once again not anywhere near where the Lightning was pointed (dead center on a tank). This was at a high altitude (25K') and inside 10 miles to the target, so the slant range and angle isn't particularly acute. Real EGIs don't drift like this, so I'm having a hard time believing it's behaving correctly unless there's some other alignment that's supposed to happen. Even if you did lose GPS, while the coordinates will be incorrect, a quick squirt of laser energy will give you a very good relative position to the aircraft for a short time, at least based on the systems I've flown with in the real world. Again, I had seen this problem disappear when the update fixed the issue the first time so am I missing anything or is it back?
Chaos 4-5 Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Hey man, same issue here, only when launching from carrier, experienced issue in GF Sinai. Everything works fine on any missions I set up in mission editor. I go to do a JDAM TOO target mark with the helmet, drop my mark and it instantly starts drifting. Everything I can see on the INS side is fine. Tried it sitting still on the carrier as well and same result. following…thanks for letting me know I’m not crazy.
gatordev Posted June 7, 2024 Author Posted June 7, 2024 Ah, okay, thanks for confirming someone else is seeing the issue too. I did launch from a carrier as well (GF Syria) when I had the issue.
