March 20, 20179 yr Author just did, FSTramp removed, no change its a brand new installation, bought a new PC so I started from scratch win10-64, p3d v3, complete ftx/orbx & Active sky 16 (accufeel & FSTramp - now removed ) previously I used FSX-Steam with previous gen 747, worked like a dream Jan Jacobs
March 20, 20179 yr I've seen this before. Search the forums (all the PMDG forums). It's been discussed by others having this issue with older PMDG airplanes but I can't remember what the solution was. Corrupt database, maybe. Not sure. Walter Meier
March 20, 20179 yr Author thanks Walter, I try again, because I have been looking all over before I posted here, was told to ask here as this is the "official" PMDG forum Jan Jacobs
March 20, 20179 yr I wish my memory were better. I do remember this happening to me: flying several NM parallel to the magenta line. Whatever was suggested at the time solved it for me. This was so long ago that I believe it could have been on the Queen for FS9. Are you by chance using Navigraph for your nav database updates? Walter Meier
March 20, 20179 yr Author yes, I use navigraph updates but its been since cycle 1612 ( when i build up the new rig) every update since then - all have same issue im now standing at an airport, on the RWY, RWY HDG is 10deg MAG I picked a point <300nm away at exactly 10deg mag entered it into the fms, the magenta line points to 351deg !! and the track is confirmed by PFPX and (yes) FSTramp ( its back in for now ) Jan Jacobs
March 20, 20179 yr Found this: Have you tried the F1 registry repair tool? I believe this is what fixed it for me all those years ago. Walter Meier
March 20, 20179 yr Author yes, have seen those posts not the same issue, im not x miles off track I'mm 20-30 deg in the wrong direction LOL Question: does the F1 reg repair tool work for P3D V3 ? Jan Jacobs

I'd try deleting the Scenery Index folders and letting them rebuild when you restart P3D. Worth a shot and can't do any harm. Sean Campbell Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
March 20, 20179 yr Author been there, done that but if it was due to that, surely it would effect "everything" not just one AC from PMDG ? Jan Jacobs
March 20, 20179 yr Author somehow its seems to be linked to the MAG variation in this pic AC pointing 190, the waypoint selected is at 190deg but the HDG bug shows 173deg, very close to the MAG VAR at that point. I tested at different airports, always closely link up with the variation http://www.mediafire.com/view/6a6nl5mhjlbbcda/Capture.JPG Jan Jacobs
March 20, 20179 yr Jan, some guys have reported problems with track and seems that ASUS mobos had some kind of problem with the UEFI/BIOS clock and the PMDG programming...Look for this problem in the forum,.. Just an idea. Best. Miquel Egea.

You get support directly from PMDG only via trouble ticket at PMDG Product Support. At some point you may want to do that. The Flight1 registry tool solved a similar problem with FS9/FSX but not P3D. We still haven't isolated what in your configuration is causing this and you don't seem to believe the problem is there...maybe it is time for the trouble ticket. Dan Downs KCRP
