Tholozor Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Yep same here. I am always off by 20 degrees or so from runway heading. When I get visual I have to adjust a lot. I would have thought it would be more accurate than what's in the sim. I know it's a non precision approach but still. Also, don't forget to account for the magnetic variation. If you switch the Hornet's heading tape to display true heading and set the CRS line to the heading on the F10 map, you should see it lined up.

Thanks for the input. I don't want to get pedantic here and I truly appreciate the feedback but real pilots don't have an F10 Key? So mag variation should be in the briefing and of course will be briefed in real life. Edited March 1, 2019 by Mule Fighter Pilot Podcast.

IIRC... HSI -> DATA -> A/C This will display mag variation amongst the info.

Tholozor Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I don't want to get pedantic here and I truly appreciate the feedback but real pilots don't have an F10 Key? True, but I think this will suffice on the kneeboard as an alternative: I like to think of the F10 map as a really big map on my kneeboard.

Eaglewings Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Just keep in mind Caucasus map is grossly inaccurate, RW plates are mostly useless. For example, Kutaisi airport ARP is like 2nm offset.I have seen incorrect course line on the HSI for Caucasus map several times. Way point shows you are a few miles to the Airfield but course line on tacan will be way away from general area the airfiled is.
