HMCS Alignment BMS 4.36 Recommendation
-
I had difficulty selecting Coarse Alignment in BMS 4.36 using the “-34” and training manuals because my Mode selections was something other the NAV
Suggest we include a comment, where appropriate, that Coarse Alignment requires the Mode selection to be NAV and the EGI selection should be “Align Normal” . In flight, the EGI selection should be “align in flight”. Without these additional instructions, attempting to align the HMCS on the ground and in flight fails. -

I will take a look.

@Micro_440th Just a question …why alignment in NAV only ? , already figured out …
But seems more like Mode-NOT dependent // Alignment should be possible any mode
… -
@white_fang I’m pretty sure that the alignment was coded the way how the RL F-16 works.

@Tiger78
I might be wrong…
but HMCS alignment and EGI alignment are two entirelly different pairs of shoes.
EGI alignment is for GPS navigation - once it is finished, you don’t want to touch it in flight anymore. -
@Amadeus75 That’s true. EGI <> HMCS . (only via onboard MMC/INS interface)
However, EGI alignment can be done anytime (maybe not type full) … just not in Falcon since we don’t have “REAL” GPS - that’s why IN FLT ALGN exist , and it kinda works in BMS/Falcon ever since … think precision is lower@Micro_440th No prob. Not arguable , just seemed more “logical” the other way - and I was talking about HMCS (not EGI)
…currently HMCS can only aligned in NAV mastermode … which seemed too ‘restrictive?’Live long and prosper

OK, Thanks…works fine with suggested selections. -
Hello Everyone !
Quick HMCS question, and I thought this subject was appropriate.
Regarding my research, the INS/EGI button does not need to be touched to align the HMCS, post #1 seems to be contradicting that. I don’t think it is necessary to be in INS alignement mode when aligning the HMCS, because it wouldn’t make much sense.
Concerning the cursor to align the HMCS in fine mode, it seems to be an “all or nothing” movement. So the slightest cursor movement makes the alignement cross move at full pace.
Do you confirm that ?
This make a fine alignement very complicated, and I’m not sure what the alignement tolerance is for a correct HMCS A-G usage ?Thanks for your feedback
