correct as is bug with autostart

[cheg]

Hi,

 

So I noticed after the last update that the autostart script for the F16 has a weird thing where when it comes to INS Knob - NAV it leaves it there (even tho i have noticed it "confirms the LAT and LNG" with an enter, but the knob is left on the ALIGN mode. So I checked the Macro_sequencies.lua and it seems that part is commented out.

So I'm wondering is this intended or?

Hi 

this is intended, you will need to switch from align once the alignment process is completed. 

thank you

Not that it's a big deal but, although I personally hardly ever use the autostart function, for those who do use it this doesn't really make sense imho.

I'd expect the autostart assist, to get the aircraft "taxi ready"

But that's just my opinion.

I do agree... I don't use it as much (even tho im fairly new to the game), but sometimes its convenient if i wanna grab a coffee   But for new people it is confusing i think. 
As you said, it is implied that its "taxi ready"... Or maybe add a bit more instructions there and mention to the player that they need to finalize the alignment...

I could be wrong (haven't flown the F-16 in a while), but I presume that's because there is a delay before the alignment process completes (as BigNewy alluded to) which could equally cause confusion when it changed the switch.

The autostart should include full ins alignment imo. They could easily add a message saying -ins alignment in progress-

Then, when it's done the switch goes to nav and autostart is complete.

 

The only autostart I remember to have used, was in the AV8B, and iirc in that module ins alignment is part of autostart.
