1.4 beta

screetch82 — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 11:13:06 GMT

i just uploaded the new 1.4 beta (which is still called 1.3.3. strangly) and i like it

The Mag track is now showing and if you dont use the direction instrument you get a bearing to your track.

I noticed that when simulating a flight I pointed the aircraft directly towards the next waypoint and i was maybe 1 mile off track.

The indicator however still showed me to turn a further 10 degrees. Does this mean now it advises you of a bearing back to your track instead of the bearing from your current position towards the next waypoint? (You explained to me before the later was the case - this now seems to have changed?)

i will hopefully go flying later this afternoon so i can also test it in the air.

Yes, this is the way it has always worked. The alternative would be for them to disappear after a period of time, during which you might not have seen them. They therefore appear as long as they remain applicable.

no error, it worked absolutely brilliant yesterday.

one thing I noticed: the airspace warning constantly stayed on until I acknowledged them - can this be right?

It always shows the bearing or correction needed to take you to the next waypoint.

If you believe something to be in error please post a screenshot and we'll take a look.
