Hi Curt
are you, or someone else, working on integrating the new apt.dat format as of
x-plane 9?

Is the 850 spec considered the new apt.dat format?
Yup, at least it's the most recent public spec. See:

Thanks Martin, that's what I thought.

There's a bug in the /instrumentation/nav/radials/selected-deg

true degrees, but isn't a bearing -- it's just a number. You could

It's actually even more confusing than that: the initial value seems
to depend on whether the --vor option is selected, what the heading
is, etc.
All the best,

SInce this is related , I'll ask here . I've got a 2 pointer RMI well under
way , and according to the few documents I found ,
the RMI gets its input from the ADF and Nav receiver ... it doesn't do the
calculations itself.
So is better to NOT to use the /nav/heading-deg ?
