Nealius Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Batumi, 2016, magnetic declination should be -6°. Control Test A-10C. Infobar heading (true) 306° compass and HUD reading 300° as expected. Mosquito Test Infobar heading 306°. Expected compass reading 300°. Actual compass reading 275° which is 25° more than correct declination. Compass-Mosquito.trk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflected Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Was this taken while idling on the ground? I noticed that you need to throttle up quite a bit for the repeater and the DI to align. On a sidenote, there is no magnetic deviation on the Channel map, but I think ED is aware of this. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 What about the normal compass infront of the throttle lever? Does it show the same deviation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I be testing in-flight? 48 minutes ago, razo+r said: What about the normal compass infront of the throttle lever? I'm unsure if I aligned the main compass correctly or am reading it correctly, but it is reading 295° which is still incorrect declination. This time the repeater was reading 291°. 1 hour ago, Reflected said: On a sidenote, there is no magnetic deviation on the Channel map, but I think ED is aware of this. Which begs the question: Why does every warbird except the Jug give 10° (or more) of declination on the Channel map?

Reflected Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Yeah, well, compasses are a bit of a mess in DCS at this moment, very inconsistent. This is one of the main blockers of my Mossie campaign. I don't want to record 100s of voice overs with headings only to change it later when it's fixed. In any case, all compasses should point at infobar + 10 degrees over the Channel map. See Manston runway, that's your magnetic heading. 2 Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
