GPS still functional no matter what time period is chosen in mission scenario

Hi all,

when I setup CW Germany in a time period for example in 1985 I see that the GPS of the KA50s does not work anymore….but not so for the Apache. Shouldn‘t the GPS as well as the FCR be inoperative in this time period?

Alignment after startup takes significantly longer when the mission date is set at a pre-GPS year, that would indicate it is not active

I didn't test it in this version, but the last time I checked the GPS was not present, the INS did align and you could clearly see it wasn't coupled to the GPS since the FPM was jumping and the altitude wasn't precise.

I hope ED can simulate the INS drift and INS fix in this aircraft.

Ah ok - but that means that the moving map works without the GPS. I assumed that also the moving map should not work

If you see PSN in the lower left corner during alignment (and even after), it is the system prompt to allow you to fill the initial position (the parking spot) necessary for the alignment of the INS

Thank you - very helpful
