Co-Pilot CDI issue
-
Hi, I noticed that you can't turn the OBS on the Co-Pilot CDI past 0 degrees either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Thanks for catching this. It was actually setting the RNAV OBS value beyond 360, which could have had unintended consequences. This will be in the first update, but if anyone wants to fix this locally for themselves, you can do a find and replace on the following string in PistonDuke_INT.XML or TurbineDuke_INT.XML:
FIND:
(>L:var_RNAV_OBS, number)REPLACE:
d360 (>L:var_RNAV_OBS, number) -

I'm very happy to hear you say that. I haven't seen anyone say this yet, but I've worried that posting these fixes makes it look like I'm asking users to fix my aircraft for me. I just know that I would always prefer having the option to make the fix myself for the three minutes that it would take, rather than being forced to wait for an update.
Doing my best to retain my reputation for these fixes, I double checked before I posted that it is safe to replace all occurrences in the file

@Black-Square that is totally understandable that in a product this complex there will be some bugs on release. It's an amazing piece of work you've done there. Please don't feel pressured by all the bug reports, take your time. And I personally really appreciate you sharing the hotfixes with us when possible.

Hi Nick, I think I have found another small discrepancy with the instrument. The glideslope needle seems to be reversed. In this case, I've approached the GS from below, but it indicates that I am above the GS.

It's amazing how many things can get by you when you have to hyper-focus on a different system every day... My apologies. I found the mistake in my code. Thanks for pointing it out!
