Reported heading is a bit weird

[pierr3]

The reported heading from the aircraft is not displayed properly in EuroScope, see capture (Last item is heading)

That looks strange, indeed. Will have a look on wednesday.

@pierr3 I am able to reproduce this, it's reported heading + 360. Strange enough, that's the value I get from GetReportedHeading().
Are you using ES Beta or the public release version? I ask because I tested this once in an earlier beta and I believe it was working fine there.
I will take this to the ES Beta forum.

Yes, I'm using the latest EuroScope beta, but somehow it works fine with
vSMR, which also uses this value to display the "primary target" on the
radar pointed the correct way.

Did you check the actual return value there? Depending on what function you use, it will work just fine. I used GeographicLib in another plugin, and it doesn't matter if the value is 270 or 630, the result is the same.
I just checked in the public release version, the value is fine there. In the beta,
int hdg = GetReportedHeading()
leaves me with heading + 360 (I checked this via debug session).

To me it looks like Gergely has to fix it. If I do it, I'll either have to put in a switch, or I'll break it for public release users.

Here's the result from the public release (third row):

[pierr3]

Maybe just do (x + 360) % 360 ? It'll work for both public and beta.

Good idea. Never thought about using the modulo operator this way. I'll do this. :)

Looks fine:
