[Flightgear-devel] DME bias question

2004-06-09 Thread Curtis L. Olson
Urgent question: Recently I added support for adjusting the DME readout based on an optional per transmitter bias that is part of Robin's nav data. For ILS approaches the DME transmitter could be at the opposite end of the runway, but transmitting a bias or constant value to subtract off the

David, You are right, however there are some DME's that do transmit a bias value. From Robin's data format specification: DME bias in nautical miles often used for DMEs associated with an ILS that are not located near the runway threshold. This bias must be subtracted from the calculated
