I fixed the issue of the rotation of the radar screen (I transform now only the
groundnet, but for the MP user radar returns, I set
/instrumentation/radar/display-controls/rotate to true, and set the local
user's orientation to the magnetic variation. Works like a charm!).
I also shortened the LOC guideline texture so it only reaches the outer ring --
however, if the user offsets it to the max AND rotates it to a westerly
heading, it can still extend slightly off the radar screen onto the data panel
or exterior "window" area. If there is a more elegant solution to that
(admittedly minor) issue, I welcome it.
I still need some guidance on the problem of the wind-from heading. I am
pulling /environment/wind-from-heading-deg and factoring in
/environment/magnetic-variation-deg (and I remembered to account for wrapping
around the 360-degree mark), and writing that back to a property I am calling
/sim/atc/wind-from-display, which is the one used in the instrumentation xml
file which puts it on the screen. No problem. The issue here is WHERE in the
Nasal script (atc.nas) do I do this so that I can be sure that the displayed,
magnetic wind heading is updated along with the raw
/environment/wind-from-heading-deg? I mean, I could have it update once per
frame, but that's a little silly, and besides I'm not sure how Nasal works in
that I'm not sure where I'd put it even if that was what I wanted to happen. I
see a bunch of initial parameters and then a bunch of function declarations but
I don't see where this update would go or where it'd be called from. Should
it go in a separate Nasal file? A little guidance on that would be great.
Thanks,

It's looking good so far ...
I haven't tested it yet myself , but if the guidelines are a separate texture ,
you can have them clipped my making the "instrument" the same dimensions as the
radar screen ...
cheers
