- Changed HSI indicated heading to show magnetic instead of gyro since the user can not correct for gyro drift. This will be changed back when a feature is added to allow the user to correct the gyro drift.

How's this working in the era of SU12? I've been on an Ice Pilots NWT binge and was thinking of picking up the Laborie CL-215. But definitely would want to have this mod if I'm going to fly it! :) Saw some issues reported a few months ago but wasn't sure if those were due to updates or were just specific to the user's setup. Thanks!

I go on one of those binges ever so often myself haha.
The poor duck has been gathering dust in the hangar for a bit too long, as most of my time has been consumed by the DC-3 lately. The latest updates by the original author caused some issues, that would need addressing, it has been a bit of a nightmare trying to make the mod work across multiple updates without sharing too many of the original files since it is a payware plane. I actually need to allot some time to get it shipshape again and bring some of the features I developed for the DC-3 to the duck, like the automatic mixture system.

Thanks for the update! I'll hold off, and snag it if I see an update appear. Given the lack of activity on the F-8 Crusader, I would guess Roland will move to the next thing and stop making your life complicated on this one at this point. :)
