Plan-G using different magnetic deviation?

[dempsey]

I discovered that Plan-G 3.1.4.129  has different ILS bearings than X-Plane 11.05; the X-Plane ones are correct (for X-Plane that is). Just a few examples:

Nanaimo CYCD 16 ILS bearing is 165^o, Plan-G shows 162^o.
Springbank CYBW 35 ILS bearing is 346^o, Plan-G shows 343^o.

It finally explains why I missed the runway when I used the Plan-G ILS bearings.

Tim, do you not use the magnetic deviation table from X-Plan 11.05 when you build the X-Plane 11 database?

Should be - I'll check.

Please try build 137 at the top of the forum.

Hi Tim,

I did a clean install of 3.2.0.137.

I rebooted my PC, rebuild the database which took a surprising 37 minutes, and the two ILS still have the wrong course.

[tim arnot]

Hmm. That's odd. It worked in 136, wonder why it reverted in 137. I'll investigate.

Tim,

Just out of curiosity I downloaded you limited database https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkfXrd8YzuWwgRMw3XyqOZrTXFO4 from the 3.2.0.137 topic. I used it and checked CYBW ILS and it is there also wrong (343^o). That of course makes sense if you generated it with version 137.

[tim arnot]

Yup, that was generated in 137.
