Dudester22 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I am just going through engine startup training and I have got quite far. That is is until I have found I can go no further because of what appears to be a bugged button. The trainer says to me: "Select the egi as the primary navigation system on the navigation mode select panel." However, when I try to press the highlighted button nothing happens. I hope I am doing something wrong here, but other then press highlighted button I don't know what else I'm suppose to do. can someone tell me if this part of the training is bugged or if I am suppose to do something else?
Nealius Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Have you selected NAV mode on the CDU after INS alignment? If not you can't engage the EGI.
Dudester22 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Have you selected NAV mode on the CDU after INS alignment? If not you can't engage the EGI. Yes that worked thanks.
311Gryphon Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Yes that worked thanks. Don't worry, it took me a bit to figure out that series of inputs.

Nealius Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I had the same problem, but it's surprising that the startup tutorial would ask the player to engage EGI before selecting NAV on the CDU...
adese Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 As I recall, the navigation alignment process is not highlighted in the startup tutorial. They have you engage the EGI and the EAC stuff but never mention waiting for alignment. This was a big issue for me in the beginning as I'd get a slew of issues after takeoff and couldn't figure out what I did wrong. Maybe ED should annotate that part for everyone since EVERYONE seems to run into this issue when they first start out.

I may have to run through that tutorial again but I believe it mentioned it although it wasn't at all clear. Maybe I'm wrong....I'm struggling to think back. Of course, it could be that I watched a YouTube video that warned me of the wait time and I'm projecting that into the tutorial as well. So you could be right. And if you are, they most certainly should annotate that. http://www.youtube.com/user/311Gryphon i7-8700, 32 GB DDR4 3000, GTX 1080 TI 11GB, 240 GB SSD, 2TB HDD, Dual (sometimes Triple) monitor, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, TrackIR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
