Magnetic Declination update

[RagnarBSE]

Hi Gentlemen!

which are the values for magnetic declination for all maps in DCS?

 

Thx all in advance

That is not a question we can give you the answer to as the values change depending on the mission date.

Ok, thx, so there is a website or others resources where i can find magnetic declination about date?

 

the change of magnetic declination on maps in DCS in functions of date is modelled?

You can use NOAA's Magnetic Field Calculator (https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/magcalc.shtml) to get a general idea, but to get a relatively precise sense of what the magvar is in DCS, on a given date, at a given location I would plop down an A-10C in the given mission and open the "POSINFO" page on the CDU. That gives you the easiest way to figure out the magvar for a specific usecase imo.

ok thx Rrecoil, I need to discover how to check Mag var on F18 and F16 depending on mission date   Unfortunately i don't use A10

F-16C

DED > LIST > MISC > MVAR

F/A-18C

HSI > DATA > A/C

The approximate Magnetic Declinations of the maps in DCS for  the default mission date (2016) are

• +6°E Caucasus
• +1°E Marianas
• +12°E Nevada
• +2°E Persian Gulf
• +4°E Syria

The Normandy/Channel maps

• -12°W 1944
• -1°W 2016
