Hi,

I read in this forum that it seems that the INS Alignment option has an issue. What ever the slide is set, it takes about 10 minutes. Is it always so ?

I just try a flight. With slide full right, the alignement is immediate. No wait time. But I try with just a little to the left, and had to stop FSX without having received any alignement confirmation.



I know I do nothing wrong because with the slide set to the right, it works without problem.

Cheers.

I will investigate myself again but you do need to let it warm up in standby mode first before you move it to align. The heat light must go out by itself.

that's exactly what I did... Warm up. Orange light off, then ALIGN... but 10 min. at least, even if set nearly to the full right.

You were standing dead still I hope? Sometimes FSX gets a bit of a bug where the aircraft jitters with the parking brakes set which messes with the alignment. I find that releasing the chocks and holding the aircraft still with brakes only works better.

Yes, still no move. No chocks, parking brake set. I move the controls in all direction before alignment... so it should work.

I tried today again. 15 minutes to align... in the opposite direction!

The Chocks and parking brake in FSX are one and the same. I meant ordinary brakes.

Hi,

Yes, try it by maintaining brakes... was long. 15 minutes without success : INS shows opposite direction to the target!

Well, hopefully, you'll find a solution to shorten a bit the wait time and solve this odd issue. Meantime, I set the INS time alignment to the right, which works.

Cheers

I know that this is an old topic but... I had encountered the same problem, then I found out to be the turbulence generated by the wx engine that caused eternal alignment times, now I inject the weather after the alignment procedure.

Interesting. ASN/AS16?

REX 3+OD I've set the configuration sliders in order to have a high turbulence/shear/icing, if there are severe wx conditions while parked the AoA aural beeps like crazy.

I see...Interesting. Will see what I can find.
