Makerwys + MSFS 2020 + olders software

[chasbruce]

Hi, I am running MSFS 2020 but using older sw, namely Project Magenta logics/systems which runs almost entirely off fsuipc. 

I have latest Navigraph data installed.

I have tried a few ILS approaches and the Flight Director guidance is way off the ILS pointers, the latter are correct.  

I couldn't think why (magnetic variation?) then I remembered Makerwys - would that be the likely reason and should I run it or do you have another clue?

Thanks!

This depends on where the FD is getting the ILS data. You could try setting the follwing ini parameter in FSUIPC to see if that helps:

AdjustNavForMagVar=No: When set to Yes, the Nav1/2 values in offsets 0x0870 &7 0x0844 will be automatically adjusted by adding the magnetic variation held in offsets 0x0C40 & 0x0C42.

It may be worth asking Project Magenta support about this as that post was from Enrico, the author of PM.

Is Navigraph using the output from MakeRwys? Note that I do not support MakeRwys, but the source is available if needed:
