SharpeXB Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 I can't ever get the EAC switch to arm during startup I have finished the CDU BIT, set it to NAV EGI is on but the switch will never stay in the ARM position what am I missing? i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5
sobek Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Have you waitet for the full alignment? Is your SAS on? Did you switch to EGI on the NMSP? This process would be a lot easier if you just posted a track of your startup. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

This process would be a lot easier if you just posted a track of your startup. CDU BIT alignment is complete, SAS is on, EGI is set on NMSP Here's my startup checklist and a video of my startup although I've got the pointer turned off so it might be a bit difficult to see what I'm doing i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | ASUS TUF GeForce RTX 4090 OC | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5

Your alignment is stuck at 1.6.6.4 (I think because you switched to EGI too early - difficult to tell from the video). Wait until the T: value is over 4.x.x.x and the ALIGN is properly flashing in the CDU. Martin...
SmokeyTheLung Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 watched your vid You need to wait for your CDU to fully align, look for T=4.0.0.8 to show in your CDU display before you enter NAV mode and try to enable EGI... You are turning on nav mode at T=1.6.6.4 which means you have to wait another three or so minutes before you toggle NAV mode Edit:Sniped in the face 1 System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer
Corrigan Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 4.0 0.8 is what you have to wait for. By the way, does anyone know what these numbers actually mean? Wasn't mentioned in the flight manual. 1 Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
ZMEY-HS- Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 IIRC, 4.0 time passed since alignment begin; 0.8 someting like navigation precision, n.miles. 1
MTFDarkEagle Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 4.0 0.8 is what you have to wait for. By the way, does anyone know what these numbers actually mean? Wasn't mentioned in the flight manual. The 4.0 is the allignment time (i.e. 4 minutes) and the other number has got something to do with nav error IIRC.... Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
SmokeyTheLung Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Afaik they are an indication of the time you've been "aligning" and the precision of said alignment Edit:damn, you're quick :D System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer
sungsam Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 How do you turn on EAC, with mouse, or key binding ?. Check if you accidentaly change the key combinations. DCS F16C 52+ w JHMCS ! DCS AH64D Longbow !
winz Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 The 4.0 is the allignment time (i.e. 4 minutes) and the other number has got something to do with nav error IIRC.... AFAIK it's the maximal INS deviation, in NM, for one hour of flight. The Valley A-10C Version Revanche for FC 3
Loki_ Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Also you can re-align the INS in flight, doing this i think it takes about 6-8 minutes for the same 0.8 accuracy value as opposed to 4 minutes on the ground. Once you see that 0.8 either in flight or on the ground you are good to switch it to "nav" and use egi and arm eac. You may on occasion accidently move the plane too early, then use the inflight align during ingress instead of starting over from scratch whilst going nowhere.
