Magnetic Compass enhancements #1462
Conversation
- simulated pivot mount - can get stuck when outside the pivots pitch limits - avionics have electrical influence on the bearing (compass correction is the same as it was before with all avionics on)
Wow. thanks @hbeni you've been busy. I take a look at everything you've done and get it merged when I get a free moment. |
Cool, |
When you try it, notice the following things:
|
Also, you really should consider adding the Compass correction card card to the cockpit somewhere (or the compass itfself); the values are the same as for the c182 (is i took the initial deviation table from the 172 :) |
So is the compass deviation card something a pilot simply refers to so they know how much offset to apply to the compass readout? The compass has no calibration dial to set it to read accurately? |
I also read the mailing list thread related to this. I guess we are not going to do this in c++ for now with
|
I'm a bit confused, I saw the compass deviation card in the c182. You don't have a magnetic compass like the 172 does (on top of the dash) I see how that applies to that compass. If you want to fly 90 then you set coarse to 92. But what about the compass on the panel, that has a calibration knob, yet looking at the card, it is different deviations for different headings, so one calibration change wouldn't apply to all? How do you use that card in the c182? |
No, it is a simple magnetic compass. |
I also don‘t think it will be added shortly. Hence this addition. |
Are you refering to the Directional gyro?
The card applies to the mag compass only. |
OK, thanks for the explanation. Didn't see the 182 mag compass. |
