Glad to see someone else who does the alignment before startup. None of the written guides/manuals do this but I find its the only way to not be stuck waiting on it.
For consistency I use ground power always, so my boat procedure is the same.
Strange that neither the Hornet or the F-14 allow INS alignment unless one engine is running, may be linked to the generator in some way. I've also heard not to start the engine during alignment, as it can cause movement but it's probably not modelled.

Best vid on this I’ve seen, thanks. I used to auto start 😲 but have since realised how much quicker it is to do it yourself. One thing on your vid - you set altitude to zero. Wouldn’t you only do that if you are at sea level? Ie shouldn’t you actually just make sure the QFE is correct? Or have I misunderstood something?

Torturing yourself not doing pre-aligned 😂.
