INU update switch - need up/down position explanation

[hreich]

INU update switch - on the right side of cockpit below numpad.

For what is up, and for what is down position of the switch?

I know there are two modes for fixing position, one is overfly and fix, and the other is fix the position with shkval sensor and lock button, but i dont know what are the exact positions for that switch?

It's described in the manual.

(I-251V Shkval – Fly over INU update) switch. Mode of operation for INU correction. When set to "И-251В""UP", INU coordinates will be corrected using the Shkval optics. When set to "ПРОЛ""DOWN", the coordinates will be corrected by over-flying a reference point. [RCTRL + V]

This is one of the worst labeled switches in the Ka-50 IMO. The difference is whether you update the INU via the point at the end of the Shkval "broomstick" in front of you or if you update the INU via directly flying over the point with the helicopter.

 

I like to think of it as Up = Far in front (Shkval) and Down = Under me (Flyover).

Thanks, just the answer I was looking for, and for easier remembering!
