von Baur Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I decided to fly a DFW yesterday and noticed a problem. Don't know if its been reported or not yet, but the compass conter-rotates. That is, when you are flying North and turn to the right the compass rotates toward the West. The end result is that if you're flying North or South it reads properly, but any other direction is really a mirror reading (note in screenshot that the compass shows 248 but the F5 display in the upper left shows a heading of 112) with East and West being 180 degrees off. The only other aircraft I've seen with a compass on the wing is the Fokker E-III and it works properly. Quote
von Baur Posted June 14, 2009 Author Posted June 14, 2009 Oops! I said "F5" display above. Meant to say "Z" display. Got to stop those high-altitude missions. Lack of oxygen is killing brain cells. Quote
