INS : wrong MVAR on carriers

[*Aquila*]

When I start a mission from a carrier on Caucasus, whether the F-14B is hot or I start it up and let Jester do his job, the MVAR is set to 4.8 instead of 6.1. On a field, on the same map, it's correctly set to 6.1. Did I miss something ?

 

Didn't try on SOH yet.

Magnetic variation varies across a region. Does what Jester entered match what's on the knee board?

It does. But the headings don't match what's in the editor's map.

Well, I tested with a carrier very close to the shore at Kobuleti. 6.1 onboard the ship, as well as ashore. The bug must be in the keyboard-chair interface.

The headings on the carrier can be up to 30 degrees off, due to the large metal structure. It will align itself back to the correct headings a while after take off. We‘ll take a look at the magvar.

It's how it should be: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=238390

I really recommend to read that thread (especially Super Groovers posts on the 2nd page), as it is very interesting and gives you an insight on how deeply simulated the Tomcat is! :thumbup:
