AnnaNass Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 On the last flight my INS showed a deviation of -112 °. This was a bug or something but the real bug: the compass showed north with this deviation so the compass is not the magnetic compass it has to be.
Frederf Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 How old is that mission? There was a bug with some headings or variations being stored as +-180 instead of 0-360 range. Missions made before that was fixed will still be wrong when flown with the latest version.

Missions made before that was fixed will still be wrong when flown with the latest version. Ahh good to know. But the compass has to show magnetic north under all circumstances. Regardless to the variation.

jojo Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 I'm even more lost now :D This is M-2000C bug report...or did I missed something ? Mirage fanatic !

jojo Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 The HSI isn't a magnetic compass. It's fed by INS. And you can choose to display Magnetic North (Cm) or True North (Cv). So no, it doesn't always display magnetic north, it depends on the setting you choose and magnetic variation. Mirage fanatic !

jojo Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Stand by compass on right console ? Probably the least of concerns right now :D Mirage fanatic !

AnnaNass Posted September 3, 2016 Author Posted September 3, 2016 Stand by compass on right console ? Probably the least of concerns right now :D The magnetic compass of the Mirage on the right site. There is only one :smilewink: And this one didn't point to magnetic north because on the map I flew almost south
Zeus67 Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 The magnetic compass of the Mirage on the right site. There is only one :smilewink: And this one didn't point to magnetic north because on the map I flew almost south Are you referring to the pull down compass that is over the INS panel? "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."
jojo Posted September 3, 2016 Posted September 3, 2016 Yes I think so. Mirage fanatic ! I7-7700K/ MSI RTX3080/ RAM 64 Go/ SSD / TM Hornet stick-Virpil WarBRD + Virpil CM3 Throttle + MFG Crosswind + Reverb G2. Flickr gallery: https://www.flickr.com/gp/71068385@N02/728Hbi
AnnaNass Posted September 3, 2016 Author Posted September 3, 2016 Are you referring to the pull down compass that is over the INS panel? Yes this is the compass :lol: Come on there is only one compass in the Mirage that can't be so hard :joystick:
AnnaNass Posted September 4, 2016 Author Posted September 4, 2016 Are you referring to the pull down compass that is over the INS panel? I hope you understand this bug :book:
Frederf Posted September 4, 2016 Posted September 4, 2016 I guess the important thing is that moving forward with new missions made in the new version that the behavior is correct. There's no actual magnetic field in the simulation and all magnetic behavior has to be simulated as a deviation from true heaving instead of the reverse as in reality. As such it's expected that a bug affecting the translation between the two would be just as likely to propagate to a magnetic instrument as away from it. I guess if an airplane module is able to get direct "local magnetic field" from the game engine then the most realistic and robust manner to program a simulation is to start from that input and derive the dependent data (true heading) in a manner similar to what the real airplane designers had to.
