What is the default Magnetic Variation "year" used in MSFSX?How do I know if I am current?Is there a download ZIP file available to get current?

I could be wrong here. I am drawing on 30-40 year old memory.Unless you live or fly in the Arctic Circle magnetic variation might move an inch or two in a year's time. The drift of the magnetic poles is very small over even a 10 year period of time.I wouldn't worry about being out of date there.
