Velocity Vector

[Hammer_251]

  My velocity vector does not seem to be working. It is stationary at the top of the HUD. Anyone else having this problem?

Working fine here.

Are you 100% sure the INS allignment was finished before releasing the parking brakes and taxiing?

Did you break your INS? 

Do you have a short track?

You are both correct, I can't be sure it wasn't...flew the same mission again and double checked everything and yes it works. however the pilot's tacan is not showing the correct distance and direction. I set the tacan in the mission editor to show 71X. Is this correct?

Where are you and where is the station with 71X in relation to you? Is there even a station with 71X?

Right at takeoff on USS T. Roosevelt carrier Tacan showed 270 miles away??? Later after tanking with an S-3 Viking and switching back to 71X about 50 miles behind the carrier I set 71x on the tacan and it still showed 250 miles range. I switched back to the recovery tanker's tacan that was circling the ship and it showed 50 miles. I have a completely re-installed DCS, did the updates like normal, but certain things seem off. One example of this is I can no longer seem to find the SH-3 Sea King in the mission editor. I have it all set up in the countries.lua yet no Sea King.

Well, without knowing which mission, all I can say is double check that you did enter the correct TACAN channel... 

Also, there is no SH-3 sea king in DCS by default. If you did see one, it was most probably a mod you had installed, or you misremember.

Yes didn't flip the Y to X on the tacan.  The Sea King is in game by default. You simply add the line: cnt_unit( units.Helicopters.Helicopter, "SH-3W"); in the countries.lua in Scripts --> Database. I have used this for years. It is not a mod, it is from DCS World albeit old style graphically.

It is a mod if you have to modify game files.
