While there's so much hacking happening wrt to radar instrumentation, I'd like note a small observation. There seems to be a small, but noticeable, inconsistency about the heading displayed.
You can see this if you enable the showing of a tacan source in the radar and its corresponding data/symbol whatever box. They appear to "point" into different directions. I suspect both informations get derived by ways taking the magnetic variation into account differently. The combinations of radar echos/groundradar/radar compass rose look pairwise consistent though. But on further guesstimating I tend to think all that rl atc happens with the magnetic heading in mind (thus rwy 28 in KSFO for example), so perhaps the radar screen should reflect this by rotating accordingly. I'm not even sure if that would change the difference I talked above (and if so, in the "right" way). For now I fear I cannot dig deeper into that, but perhaps this can a serve as pointer fo some you guys already busy hacking that part of fg. Thanks to you anyways for the great job. regards K.
