joker62 Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 First of all congratulations on the wonderful F-14 module. I've always taken advantage of free-trial periods of this module and two weeks ago I decided to buy it. I'm really satisfied!!! And now my problem. I've created a short mission to practice CQ (Marianas map, CVN-71, mission starts with my F-14B ready for takeoff on CAT 1). From time to time I change the weather conditions and consequently also the direction and speed of the carrier. After making these changes, my F-14 keeps the direction of the previous mission in the HUD, BDHI, VDI, HSD and even on the compass. I replaced the F-14 with the FA-18C and the highlighted heading is now correct, according new carrier's direction. I dont understand. Can someone help me? Or maybe it's a bug? I attach some screenshots. Thanks. antonio.
near_blind Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) I'm not sure that it's the direction from the previous mission. You're sitting on an aircraft carrier which is a massive chunk of ferris metal, with it's own local magnetic field that effects the magnetic compass on your aircraft. As stated in the manual: nullYou'll probably be seeing a flashing "MV" somewhere on the HSD, either below the HSI compass wheel in NAV mode, or at the bottom right if you have the TID repeater up.

Thank you very much near_blind, that was just what i needed to know. And you are right, it doesn't depend on the previous mission. I've created other short missions from scratch and this "distortion" due to carrier's own magnetic field and induced magnetic field is always present with F-14 on the deck. I thought I'd made some mistakes and instead this information had escaped me, also because the FA-18c in the sim does not seem to be affected by this problem. Thanks again 1
