investigating Navigation Alignment after repair

[KnuckleDaWae]

Can you re-align the Mig-29 navigation after repairing or cutting off the engine ? I've tried but once the HSI is reset it's lock, there is no way to make a new alignment, is this a bug or you're not supposed to do it ?

Hi, 

can you please attach a track replay, you can save a track when you exit the mission during the debrief window.

We need to check if you have the correct points setup for the airfield and are selecting  that point in the nav panel

thank you

Hi, 

Here's my track replay, it's the instant action cold start, I make the normal cold start then move around a little then I turn off the engine and switch, but can't re-align the plane, once the HSI is cage you can't uncaged it, it's locked forever

 

Sorry I can't find how to attach the Track to the posts

This issue constantly happens. Spent hours trying to fix it. AFCS only works on initial flights, never works again after repairing at an airfield and restarting the exact same way.

Dear all, I looked at this and ran a quick flight test. I was able to takeoff, land at a different airbase, completely shut down, and then start up again with proper HSI alignment. I hope the attached track may help.

However, in the process, there does seem to be an issue with the FCS test. We are investing.
