• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Reciprocal bearing value ( SOLVED )

Hi folks, a super-quick request for help with a bearing to station code. I have a station frequency, and I can obtain a bearing from it to me. I want to turn that into a bearing from me to the station. My code does work, but errs when I am to the east of the station;

Code: 
        <Element>
        <Position X="0" Y="140"/>
        <Text X="120" Y="30" Bright="Yes" Length="10" Font="Tahoma" Color="Lime"
        Adjust="Left" VerticalAdjust="Center">
        <String>BRG %((L:CEX_nav1_TACAN_brg,degrees) 180 + )%!03d!</String>
        </Text>

I've had a hunt around but I can't think of a way to make sure that the bearing is correct no matter where I am in relation to the station. I'm guessing that an if / els is required based on the variables I already have? Any help much appreciated! :)
 
First thing you might try is (L:CEX_nav1_TACAN_brg, degrees) 180 + dnor)

There is also a wiki about dealing with negative values returned by (A:NAV RADIAL:1, degrees) if that's in your code somewhere.
