Hello!Is there anyone experiencing an offset on the ND display?When i have loaded the flightplan into the fmc,the ND displays the route several nm offset from my position.Any solutions to this,or is it another bug?Help appreciated!

thank its normal untel takeoff IRS not tuned to two stations shoud look better in flight

Nameless-Polite reminder to adhere to PMDG forum guidelines. We REQUIRE all posts to be signed with the users name.We have had a few reports of this- and have thus far tracked it down to the manner in which Windows/MSFS interact with the country settings.For example, here in the USA we use a period "." as a decimal delimeter.In much of Europe, a comma "," is used.If you have your country settings in window set to use a comma as a delimeter it triggers two problems:1) Navdata becomes offset.2) You lose the ability in some cases to tune the decimal portions of the frequencies in the radios.I have forwarded a request along through some contacts we have to see if there is a pleasant workaround we can use to prevent you from having to worry about your country settings.until we receive a reply and are able to determine if it is something we can control- I recommend setting your delimeter in windows to a period while flying MSFS.(We aren't the only publisher suffering with this little indignity- so there is some basis for this....)

"Is there anyone experiencing an offset on the ND display?"Don't know if this is the same thing or not, but my aircraft sometimes wanders up to 5nm off the LNAV path when on long-ish Legs (Route based on real life company routes). The aircraft seems to rejoin the LNAV path at waypoints however. I don't think this is related to the comma/full stop issue (These settings have always been set on my computer as per the recommendations).Cheers.Ian.

Ian-Sounds like a great circle deviation? I'm not good enough at the mental math to be able to figure the angular deflection that would equal 5 nm at the mid point of an arc segment...Guessing the leg is around 300nm?Let me know- we might find we have to do some tightening of the computation in that arena...(BTW: Nice seeing you around here, Ian... been a long time! Hope Qantas is still treating you well!)

Ian, this is the exact issue I've been having too - I've had it happen on legs as sort as 100nm. Robert, can you guys check and see if maybe it's the process of drawing of the line that gets progressively off rather than the actual flight path? I noticed that even when the line is offset to the side of my course by a little bit, the aircraft's nose is still pointing directly at the waypoint. I'll upload a screenshot of this in a bit, but you can tell from the white overlay line in the ND - usually it's right dead center on the waypoint you're going to, but the magenta line is on a slightly different course. A lot of times you can see a slight bend in the line - probably the point where it started to get off for some reason. This appears to be a less severe version of the problem that occurs when you line select a waypoint to the top and enter an INTC CRS and the line doesn't actually get drawn on that course.Also, for the next patch can you please make it show flight plan waypoints you've passed on the ND after you've passed them? This is how it is in every in flight picture of the NG I've seen. (Look at 767PIC for a moving example - its EHSI does it) I think this might solve the magenta line drawing problem too since it should always be drawing a direct course between the last waypoint you passed and the one you're going to next.Ryan

This is the same I've been experiencing. On a loooong leg (over 3000NM... :) ) I get several hundred (!) miles off track on the ND. See my other post for more description and picture.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...id=13373&page=3

Tom, that seems to prove it then - it's not that the plane isn't flying the correct path, it's that the ND isn't drawing the line correctly. Yay - maybe this will get fixed now!Ryan

Sorry Robert.Should have fixed the signature now.Figured out the problem,and you are right.Changed my regional settings on my pc to United States,and the problem went away:)Funny,this is only a problem in FS2004?!Why?Never mind.Found that there is still a great loss of FPS using VC.So i still fly only 2D panel.And as mentioned in another post,found a topic on avsim forum,where turning of AGP texture acceleration in dxdiag or fs9/fs2002 cfg file,would gain a solid portion of FPS.Worked good for me.(10 fps increase in both FS2002/FS2004.)Anyway,love the bird Robert,gotta give it to you.Done a remarkable job in this one!!!

"Sounds like a great circle deviation? I'm not good enough at the mental math to be able to figure the angular deflection that would equal 5 nm at the mid point of an arc segment..."Er... I'll pass on that one, too, Rob :-)"Guessing the leg is around 300nm?"Around 380, I recall (I don't know if the direction of travel has anything to do with it, but I was going east... and a little bit south)."(BTW: Nice seeing you around here, Ian... been a long time! Hope Qantas is still treating you well!)"Thanks, Rob. Yes, it has been a long time: I spent way too much time on that other sim.... even to the point where it affected my career. Hope your career is running a little more smoothly???. I have only just got my Electrical & Instrument Engineering licences on the early series 747-400 RR-powered aircraft. Our airline now has 3 other variations of -400, which I can't certify for... as well as a host of smaller aircraft, including the 737NG. With Qantas looking to sack a large percentage of it's workforce, it's not a good position to be in.I really didn't see much "profit" for my efforts towards improving that other sim other than a few free copies... and, as you well know, it's only a matter of time before you say/do something wrong which upsets a certain programmer :-lolAnyway, in the limited time I've been running your 737NG, I've been learning "heaps".... Always a good thing! I can now walk onto a real life dead 737, power it up and set it up for flight (Of course, these Boeing glass cockpit aircraft are starting to look more and more alike, so that makes it somewhat easier. Qantas is now introducing new 747-400 display software which will make the PFD/ND displays almost indistinguishable from the 737NG).Anyway, hope to join your beta team one day ;-) ;-) ;-)Cheers.Ian.
