reported CV Recovery - Pilot marking mom's TRUE and not MAG

[Tusky]

Hi all!

Attached a few screenshots of a paused game after entering the CCA and contacting Marshall for a CASE I recovery.

To summarize:
1) Mother is at 186° Mag (see HSI)
2) the pilot should be marking mom's at 006° (reciprocal of 186°)
3) the pilot actually marks mom's at 013° (see text)
4) mag declination is abt. 7°E (see A/C page)

TRUE = MAG + DECL ("+" if E / "-" if W)

Maybe not a show stopper but I thought I'd bring this up since an ATC overhaul might be in progress.

Well, there's even a small deviation in the distance: 45nm instead of 42nm...

TACAN gives you slant range, not ground range, hence the distance error

yeah...but the range on the ground could only be less than the slant range...not more. But even then, 3 miles difference would be a lot.

Ah, you're right, I had that backwards in my head

And even if it was backwards, it would be at an altitude of about 90,000' MSL

Well, 45 is the only figure available to the pilot...

?

you mean 42?

Because that‘s what it says in the upper left corner of the HSI.

Correct! My bad!

@BIGNEWY This one seems to be incorrectly marked as "correct as is". While it's no big deal (just like the OP states), the pilot saying the true bearing instead of magnetic is most certainly a bug (albeit a low prio one), and not "correct as is".

I will look into it, thanks

[BIGNEWY]

I have made a report to investigate. I do think you are correct, I was looking for evidence if you have public evidence please DM me

thank you
