[b]Key highlights include:[/b] [list] [*] INS Functionality: Understanding how the INS performs dead reckoning using accelerometers and gyros, and how errors such as Schuler Oscillation can affect navigation over time. [*] GPS Insights: Examines how GPS measures aircraft position, the challenges posed by ionospheric delay and multipath effects, and the advantages of military GPS signals. [*] Kalman Filtering: Understanding how the Kalman filter optimally blends INS and GPS data, enhancing navigation precision while maintaining autonomy against potential GPS discrepancies or spoofing. [*] Practical Applications: Learning about the INS FIX procedure to correct accumulated errors, especially when GPS is unavailable or after poor alignment, and the importance of using aircraft sensors for target acquisition to ensure maximum accuracy.

[h2]South Atlantic Upcoming Update[/h2] [h3]Development Progress[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//4471395/ed7c659dda0b35d7762701221f421f0cfba2c1dc.png[/img] The South Atlantic map team is working on a winter update to their map. In order to deliver this major upgrade, they have meticulously developed custom seasonal simulation method that deliver an exceptional level of realism to the Falkland Islands whilst also further enhancing the areas of Argentina and Chile. Their new methods enhance terrain and environmental information such as Geo elevation data, snowfall accumulation, and melting. Because the available data does not contain enough detail, they have designed a process to interpolate and enhance this data, which results in impressive results. Mainland Chile and Argentina will also benefit by receiving realistic winter textures for which they leverage the same technology, but at a slightly lower resolution. This brings both the Falklands and the mainland to an even higher level of detail, which results in a more immersive and fulfilling experience. Further enhancements will include an updated biome with new flora and fauna across the map, especially visible during low level operations.
