Duke - whiskey compass grossly incorrect
-
I was flying the Grand Duke and although rarely refer to the whiskey compass, I did note yesterday how grossly incorrect it was.
The whisky compass was reading 290, and my electric/gyro compass was reading 265. I also checked the magnetic heading in the GTN750 readout to confirm my suspicion, and it also read 265 magnetic.
I also checked that no windshield heating was active.
I just wanted to pass this info. back in case it's something that slipped through, or got spoiled in one of the SimUpdates.

@Captain_J Many other high current electrical systems can effect the magnetic compass, but it should not be as much as 25°. I just tested this, and I don't see any discrepancy, so please grab a screenshot of the entire cockpit next time you see the issue.
