sjebens Posted October 18, 2023 Posted October 18, 2023 I've been trying to copy over the routes in each mission over to my own maps. I could be wrong, but every heading given seems to be in true north and not magnetic north. It was my understanding that all mission planning was done with magnetic north, am I wrong? Also, the distance seems to be a little off. It'll show a distance of 20 miles with a corresponding line, and then another part of the route will say 25 miles with the line just barely longer than the 20 mile line (more like 21 than 25). I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a realistic 'rough' sketch, or of the measurements are off. I know these are picky but I'm really interested in the navigation aspect.
Moe1 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Never thought about Magnetic vs. True North! I was thinking it was wind correction needed. Also, most of the GATE ELEVATIONS are lower than my altimeter readings! i also posted on the "Charnwood Campaign Not Working with Nomandy 2" ... I watched a video of Mission 7 ... navigation .. and some of the headings he was given to fly are different than what I'm given! I'm stuck on Mission 7 after clearing the 20,000 ft. gate. Next gate never appears!
