Navigation System Update



A very important aspect of creating a realistic navigation systems is accounting for magnetic variation. Over the past week, the team has been implementing this. We now have a Magnetic Azimuth Detector (MAD)and Magnetic Variation implemented as part of the Mission Computer (MC) 1 code. Note that the MAD is actually a separate system that provides data to the Air Data Computer (ADC), which in turns sends the data to the MC. For the two Mission Computers, we are essentially creating them virtually. This allows us more accuracy, particularly in regards to failures.



This will now allow proper magnetic heading differences (true heading vs magnetic heading and will be available on the HSI.



Realistic magnetic and true heading computations for DG/SLAVE/COMP INS are also in progress.



This is all in parallel to getting the INS Waypoint systems up and running, a crucial item of the Early Access release.



Thanks,
