MemphisBelle Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) I somehow made it happen to loose power on the whole system when I seem to be way too fast while a dive down flight (more than 450 kts). Suddenly the whole cockpit was dark (it was a night mission) and then everythings came back online. But I also lost my INS alignement and had to perform an Inflight realignement. Usually while aligning on ground it takes its usual 3-4 Minutes and end up with 4.0 0.8 on the CDU. But while realigning inflight I went over 4.0 0.8. It reached already more than 5. somethings. Is that caused by the 10 Minutes realigning inflight with straight flight and level? EDIT: I´ve added this Thread to the Tutorial Collection (CDU Tutorials) on the ED wiki since this contains numerous important information according this issue Edited December 21, 2011 by MemphisBelle BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection
GGTharos Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Yes, in-flight alignment should take longer. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
BoneSaw Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Easiest thing to do is the second you get in the pit call the ground crew and tell them to turn on the ground power. As soon as they do that turn on the CDU and it will start to align. now you can take your time starting the engs and confirming weapons settings. In fact if you do it this way I bet you'll not be able to complete the start up sequence before the CDU aligns. Just remember to tell the crew chief to turn off the ground power before taxi, otherwise he'll yell at you.

MemphisBelle Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 I've done the inflight thing once. Must have been 5.1.0.8 or something like that. Thanks for the Info, will try it out to have a definate experience on this BlackSharkDen | BSD Discord | DCS Tutorial Collection
baltic_dragon Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Just remember to tell the crew chief to turn off the ground power before taxi, otherwise he'll yell at you. :megalol: ... and you will have to land in another base to avoid is wrath :) just loved that comment. But seriously, this is what I really love in DCS - attention to all the details & realism. Just imagine something like that in the so-called sims for masses?!

amalahama Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I suppose with the INU drift not being modeled, you don't really need to do any special flying ... realistically, it would be up to 10 minutes of very steady flying (heading, speed and altitude). Man, I reeeeeally would be glad if ED eventually introduces realistic INS drift and complete GPS/INS blending with Kalman filtering, as PMDG already does. It might not be a huge deal in A-10C, but defenitively it would be a major change in BlackShark, forcing us to plan and make INS corrections here and there. Olgerd has come up the topic once, and it seems to be a WIP, I'm still hoping it will be introduced in future patches. Regards! Edited January 27, 2012 by amalahama

If so, considering how old it is, it's not surprising. Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

I guess you can use ARBIS to introduce manually your actual position in the INS, but it isn't done automatically, there is no link between ARBIS and INS Regards!
GGTharos Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 There is a pretty limited link to ABRIS, specifically for datalink use and correction (with correction being, IIRC, the only case where it is the ABRIS that sends information to the INU). Of course, I could be wrong, but I recall reading that somewhere :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Winters79 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 And how do I spend my 4 minutes? Programming the DSMS page, setting my radio frequencies, looking at my flight plan. I do that, and my 4 minutes pass really fast. I usually open my cockpit, go for a smoke and climb back in cockpit... 4 mins waiting are gone :book: :joystick:
blackpulpit Posted May 4, 2012 Posted May 4, 2012 to set the alignment process I simply hit NAV after Apu startup on the cdu and it should start the process? thanks and sorry for noob question.
