Seems to be OK now.
I've just tested a few planes. Here is what I have found:
- ALL planes show a discrepancy between the HUD speed readout and ASI
on the panel. If the HUD shows IAS, why does the ASI show less at
altitude? (They agree at sea level.)
- The HUD shows true heading rather than magnetic heading, which is
confusing. (Again, all planes.)
- The combined Nav1 instrument clips the VOR/LOC needle. Again, this
shows up in all aircraft I've tested, but the effect depends on the
FDM:
+ for YaSim planes, the needle is stuck as if true heading were
360 whenever the plane flies a true heading between 180 and 360,
thus making westerly (i.e. most usual) approaches difficult.
+ for JSBSim planes, the needle is stuck whenever the heading lies
between true North and magnetic North. This can only be observed
for one sign of variation -- you see an effect at KSFO, but the
instrument works fine at EDDF.
These are both issues that should be easy to fix. Would someone who is
more familiar with the code look into it for me please?
Aircraft tested, just for reference: 747-yasim, c310-yasim, c310,
c310-3d.
