boriz Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 When I turn navigation on, I get a helpful Icon on the ball, but where on this icon represents the actual vector. The precise direction? Is it A, B, C or something else? Asking for a friend : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoVampire Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 @boriz if im seeing it right, my guess is C as it looks like its centered on the nav ball. If i was flying instrument only using the nav ball id see C as target direction. But thats only a guess w/out more context. 045002012025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boriz Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 (edited) More context. Flying towards Dessert landing field: Spoiler Spoiler Returning to the KSC. Both times I was slightly off on approach. I was trying to follow the nav icon, but it's so big that I could be up to ten degrees off. Where is the real heading?

DeadJohn Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I never thought much about this and assumed "C", the center of the icon. After years of playing that has worked ok for me but I also don't worry about precision approaches. I use Atmospheric Autopilot for long journeys and switch to visual approach as soon as I spot the runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
