HSI / VOR1 Misalignment
-
There is definitely something going on here. Ignoring the VLOC/GPS setting, the NAV1 radial and HSI pointer don't align. This is easier to diagnose with cockpit tooltips turned on, so you can see what the actual setting is while turning it.

@Sender46 This next update is going to be epic. So many fixes and so many QoL improvements.
-
The HSI is spot on (give or take a degree, but that's fine). But the NAV1 radial is still off by 3-4 degrees at 180, and off by 1-2 degrees at 90 and 270:

No, sorry. I'm basing this off the tooltips being 100% accurate, so the HSI matches the tooltips almost exactly, but the NAV ones do not. It can be concluded from this that the HSI and NAV don't match up at all times (the effect is most dramatic at 180, which is why I show that)

@vcapra1 That might explain why my navigation is a bit off when I compare my flight path with the flight plan on Little Navmap. Have you raised a ticket?

I concur with that. I just navigated a flight using the tooltip numbers and the flight path accurately followed the flight plan on Little Navmap. Like you say, the VOR dials are still inaccurate and more so at around 180 degrees. It's as if maybe the point that the VOR dials are rotating around is not their exact centre?

Maybe they just need to add a compass deviation card?

Just realized that the heading indicator itself is showing the incorrect heading. For, example, if I point 090 degrees (as shown on the external camera indicator), this is what I see:

Or maybe the external camera indicator is wrong as well, in which case I don't care about that.
The HSI does match the HSI tooltip, which also matches the VOR tooltip. It seems to be the VOR itself that is inaccurate for me and that varies depending on the direction.

LOL, or a VOR deviation card? Joking of course ;)
