I guess RC doesn't do Antarctica very well. It guides me down there but seems to lose it at the approach stage. Guess it is a bit of a stretch. BTW any word on RC 5 release?Thanks

maybe the mag variation is too bigno word on v5, other than i'm working on itjd

FS9 is known to give aircraft navigation difficulties at the extreme near polar latitudes. There have been a few articles on it one about a couple of months ago in Computer Pilot.

I tried going over the North pole during testing and things got really strange. I seem to remember Pete Dowson explaining that the FS world isn't actually spherical but you only notice very close to the poles! I seem to remember that it stops at 89 deg 30 mins latitude. RC's calculations are based on a spherical world. Hence the problem.All the best,John

I remember vividly flying (or trying to fly) Concorde from St. Petersburg (Russia) to Anchorage and the route took me right over the North Pole.As I passed 87N the aircraft started to move sideways instead of forwards. Have you ever flown sideways at Mach 2? :-lol Needless to say I never made it. I believe FSX is better in this respect and will allow you to get quite close to 90N. Same probably applies to the South Pole.Cheers,
