The INS Drift issue isn't what it seems. They DO drift, but are self-correcting upon any WPT entry - Video Evidence

Featured Replies

People are reporting that in 1.05 the INS doesn't drift. In fact, it does. HOWEVER, upon entering any new waypoints, the INS POS is magically corrected to the aircraft actual position. See how all 3 INS units, with POS mode selected, initially show different positions after arrival at the gate, but then, upon entering the correct position into WPT 1, the position values all update magically.

I'm guessing there probably wasn't enough time for this to make it into the current patch, am I correct? Or should I put this to the test?

I'm guessing this line: "FIXED INS cannot check drift results post flight in INS due to wp parsing error" addresses it. I can only check it once I get back home.

Something is still going on. It's a bit hard to determine what the mechanism is. I just did a Seattle to Boston flight. Nearly 6 hours in the air. During the flight, I updated INS postions 1 & 2 as I passed over VORs. I did NOT update INS 3 during the entire flight.

However, upon arrival, INS 3 showed less than a mile of drift, whilst INS 1 & 2 showed 0.4nm and 3.1nm of drift respectively. (You can see this in screenshot 1)

In screenshots 2 &3, you can see the sensed position and actual position of INS 3.

Although the position is NOT identical to the real position, it does not seem quite right that it drifted so little. It still seems like it's getting a bit of a correction from some operation during flight.
