[Flightgear-devel] Messy properties for nav radios

I'd like to encourage everyone to put properties where they would belong in real life -- I took a look at the properties for the nav radio, and they gave me a bit of a headache. Think of what a nav radio and indicator do and don't know in real life: Does know: - what frequency is tuned in on

[Flightgear-devel] Bug: nav[12] selected radial

2010-03-20 Thread David Megginson
There's a bug in the /instrumentation/nav/radials/selected-deg property: the code mistakenly assumes that the selected radial is in true degrees, but isn't a bearing -- it's just a number. You could design a VOR where radial 180 was north of the VOR, if you wanted to (though usually it's close to

Hmmm, the nav database had the actual radial alignment of the station relative to true north and I remember sorting that out so that when you fly off a chart, everything would be in chart-agreement when you flew to radial intersection points. Bummer if that got broke along the way ... I haven't

Hi James, The nav radio does not work in magnetic headings. It works in which ever alignment the station was setup in. In the 60's when GEP was installed, it was aligned with magnetic north at that time. In the subsequent years, the actual magnetic north has shifted several degrees, but the
