ED Team NineLine Posted January 20, 2022 ED Team Share Posted January 20, 2022 In one of the polls I did, someone suggested being about to display True/Magnetic headings in the Mission Editor. I wanted to get some opinions how how you would like to see this and where. Also do you want this for aircraft only or anything? Please only discuss this, all other discussions will be deleted without warning.

LG-Skyman Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 If anywhere, I'd place it in the map ruler. We'll be able to see it at will anywhere. A separate input field would be an unnecessary complication, but you may also add a read only label showing either near an input heading field -- similar thing to IAS, TAS and GS information.This feature may be useful for most hardcore mil-sim guys, to me such errors/deviations are insignificant. I can calculate them myself or take them into account, when needed.Wysłane z mojego MI MAX 3 przy użyciu Tapatalka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedlo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Yes, I would like to see this! I think the ruler is a good idea, both for air, land an sea units. If there to expand the idea a little more, if there could be some heading/distance information displayed in the waypoint panel, it would be super helpful to mission designers.

Backy 51 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) True Course (TC) +/- Mag Var (MV) = Mag Course (MC) ... I'd also like to see the Magnetic Variation displayed to the right of the coordinate format on the taskbar of where you have placed the cursor crosshairs.

USSInchon Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Absolutely I would love for the mag heading to be shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burritto Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It would be nice to be able to see both the magnetic heading and the true heading (or would grid heading not be more accurate for DCS?), and/or the magnetic variation. The same would apply to the F10 map. Personally I don't mind if it is a switched option (like the different options in the coordinate system), or am option to display both headings at once.

Volator Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 This would be very helpful! Having the current mag var displayed in the maps for a given year and region/map would also be very appreciated. 1 1./JG71 "Richthofen" - Seven Eleven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighteyes2017 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 yes absolutely. This has been bothering me for a long time now. Can't imagine that this would be too hard to implement? Quick win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fagulha Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) All of the things/suggestion are already stated above by everyone, so, +1 here for adding TRUE/MAG in ME.

XCNuse Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) At minimum, I'd like to see it shown when using the ruler in the map. Personally, that's all I need to see.... again, personally. Flight routing is based on ranges and magnetic headings (ignoring GPS waypoints). So I would like to see this on the F10 map as well, not just a feature of the ME. As far as display... just give me a heading with parenthesis and "M" aka: 14.5nm : 245° (230° M) (15 declination for say NTTR, where it's a massive impact to have this visible) Edited April 25, 2022 by XCNuse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elphaba Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Of course this would be a great and quick win. We should have this available for every aircraft/unit/ship/carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
