Fresh Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 I didn't find if this is already reported, but the initial call to the ship is using the true radial from mother rather than the magnetic radial. See attached picture. 3
Fresh Posted February 4, 2023 Author Posted February 4, 2023 Hi everyone, just giving this issue a nudge.. it should be a quick fix just adding the variation to the bearing from.. Thanks, Fresh
norman99 Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 A LOT of DCS comms are incorrectly given in ° true, instead of ° magnetic. ATC bearings, AWACS bullseye & BRAA calls, as well as Carrier comms. Unfortunately it’s probably a bigger issue than it initially appears, and hence more time consuming to fix.
Dragon1-1 Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) It's probably a holdover from LOMAC and earlier days, since the Russians use true instead of magnetic for most things (magnetic variation can be large in northern Siberia). NATO should use magnetic. I don't think it'll be particularly difficult to fix unless the whole comm system is some sort of a Rube Goldberg contraption, which it might be.
