Dibs Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Hello guys, I'm new to DCS and the F-18 is my first module. I've been making short simple missions where I takeoff, fly to a location, drop a few bombs to blow stuff up and fly back. I use the mission planner to input the waypoints. After one longer mission where I flew 100nm to my target, on the flight back I noticed my pitch ladder was offset A LOT and the mission had zero wind. Then as I followed my HSI back to my waypoint at the airport, the waypoint was wayyyyy out of position, like 10nm or so. Again, there was no wind set in mission editor. INS was properly aligned during startup and set to IFA. No Autopilot was used, just auto throttle. I'm sure it's a silly mistake I'm making and would appreciate any help, thanks!

Please upload a track of it. Your description does not provide enough information to pinpoint the issue. With the INS switch in IFA, it should not drift unless you: Fly a mission with a date set pre-GPS Fly a mission for red coalition, it has restricted GPS access if I remember correctly (check the unrestricted SATNAV option to counter this) Have taken damage / random failures enables 2
