P8 compass and true north

Post by fmpcf »

Hi,

I fly Auster and Dragon Rapide a lot, but I have a problema with the P8 compass. Heading Indicator gives me the correct magnetic north, but the P8 compass show me the true north...
Readings from Heading Indicator and P8 compass: EGSU (UK) about the same, KSEA (US) +20º East declination, LPPD (Azores, Portuga), -9º West declination. Matches real life magnetic declination for this locations.

Same with Drangon Rapide or Auster. Same for FSX SP2 or P3D V2.3.

Thanks a lot for this aircrafts and for any help.

Regards from Portugal

Francisco
