On a ship, if you call for ground power on, when you switch to INS to SEA, the alignment is nearly immediate as the info is send through a data cable. You can then set the INS switch to IFA. You will get a momentary warning that will turn off in a few seconds. This ensures that you have both GPS and Inertial systems updating your location. Also, on the radio, TR&G stand for transmit receive and guard. Don't for get to turn off the ground power. Good job and nice video. I just thought you would like to know the above.

Hi, I'm learning the Harrier and just tried an INS alignment on the Tarawa with ground power on. Switching INS to SEA it still took a good few minutes to align - do you know what i might be doing wrong? Am I supposed to swap straight to IFA after?

@@procrastinathan9201 On the ship, I get the ground power on, then ensure that DATA and AC are selected, then switch to SEA for the alignment. The OK should display on the MFD when the data is transferred and at that point, when you see the OK, you can switch it to IFA, Back out of DATA, and disconnect the power cable.

@@haedubabaganush interesting, thanks for the reply - does the OK display in addition to the normal alignment symbology that's counting down? I get the 'ATT NOT OK' and a timer in the centre of the MFD but I won't say I've been paying attention to what's on the periphery of the display

@@procrastinathan9201 It will say simply OK when it is aligned. Now, I haven't been in a harrier in a while so maybe it was changed in one of the updates...but it should align. I'll have to see if it's different. What might be different is maybe a more realistic time to align....so it might take a few minutes. I've never seen an instantaneous alignment on any aircraft.

Very structured and clear tutorial 😊 I really like the style how you explain everything 👍🏻 Very clear and with a calm voice 😃 Keep it going that way 😉🤙🏻😃

The APU starter is used to get power to the systems without running the engines. The engine start switch, actually starts the APU automatically and then starts the engine, thus you don't need to fire up the APU, first. That's the same in the real aircraft.

Hmm interesting. I followed every step but my INS never starts aligning. I'm assuming it's GND for field similar to the hornet?

If you re on airfield you set to ground yes but before that you have to input your latitude, longitude and mvar manually. Also you need to make sure that the parking brake is active or the process won't start.

Whats the keybind for nose steering?

There is no default keybind. There is a switch on the left panel in front if the throttle that says NWS. That’s your nos wheel steering. You can also set it in controls - Anti-skid NWS
