Moafuleum Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 Hi During the startup training mission, i was told to adjust the magnetic course deviaton for the theatre which i'm currently in, by using a knob under a protection cover on the right side of the cockpit. The knob is not turning, neither by mouse wheel (or klicking...) nor by keyboard inputs. Is it intended to be set automatically, depending on what theater youre loading or should it be manually adjustable? It is also not working, if you start inflight or creating a new cold rampstart mission via the ME. (And yes, i removed the protection cover first :D ) thanks for the great module, btw!
RagnarDa Posted January 28, 2017 Posted January 28, 2017 I think it is working but the knob doesn't visually turn. Try looking at the backup compass while turning it and see if it moves. You don't need to adjust it however as it is automatically set when spawning. DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.

Moafuleum Posted January 28, 2017 Author Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Thank you for your quick response! I didn't noticed the small compas, only the course indication on the hud and around the radar screen. On the small compas it indeet turns as you said, thank you. During this tryout, i noticed another strange behavior. I tried to turn the deviation to the leftmost position by using a keyboard button to look how big the adjustment range is. However, when the needle reaches 180° south, the needle strangely flips around and is then stuck again in the 180° position but cannot be moved any more, neither by keyboard buttons nor by knob turning. Of course, one apparently doesn't want to turn that knob that far for any reason as it takes very long and would also make no sense to do so. Therefore, I guess, this is a very low priority thing. However, i did not tested, if the compas is working in case of an aircraft turn after that "needle-stuck" bug. Edit: thank you derelor
Wyatt109 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Course correction knob for magnetic declination seems inoperative It won't turn but it seems like it should be able to. I think you'd want this available when the Viggen is released for NTTR.
SaulKain Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I am also having issues with the backup compass. In 1.5 from a cold start the compass does not move at all. It stays aligned to 0 degrees the entire flight. Am I missing a step in my startup? Do you have to uncage it? The backup compass works for me in 2.1 however.
