norman99 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) As the title says, AWACS give contact calls reference °TRUE instead of °MAGNETIC. I'm not sure if ATC vectors are also referencing TRUE not MAG. All calls to aircraft should be made referencing °MAG, as this is what is readily available in the cockpit. It is the real world standard for all aviation direction referencing, except certain wind forecasts and ops in the polar region, which doesn't affect DCS. The following image shows the AWACS call direction in the text at the top of the screen, and the actual contact BRA on the SA page. The 13° difference is exactly explained by the 12° MAG VAR of Nevada (+1° for the slight delay between my bogey dope request and taking the screenshot.)

Ahmed Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hi, The A/A WPT bearing and range indications (both ownship and cursor), and the BRA indications in the ATTK format are showing in TRUE instead of MAG. The A/A WPT bearing and range and the cursor bearing and range in the SA page are also showing TRUE bearing instead of MAG (BRA curiously is correctly showing MAG here) Regards, true_aawpt.trk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, my bad. I should have been more wordy... I mean there is more general issue with MAG and TRUE that connected with your report and ED have payed some attention to it. To my mind, current TRUE bearings in some Hornet systems more convenient now, though it is a bug all the same. I think, it was previously reported (may be a few times). For example, there was a wish about more consistent TRUE and MAG bearings: P.S. As far as I remember, ED said in Russian forum that TRUE vs MAG issue in general calls will not be addressed until new communication system arrives. Don't quote on me, I might be wrong. 1 Верните короновирус в качестве главной проблемы, спать в маске буду, обещаю.
