I don't know the proper terms for the instrument but when I put into the radio the frequency for a way point when I get into range the directional finder needle is supposed to point to that way point - mine is 10 degrees off. Auto pilot flies the route on gps but if you fly manually, it isn't accurate by 10 degrees.

has this happened to others and is there a fix ?

I did try to return every slider back to manufacturers basics but that did not help.......

Mmmm, that is unusual indeed. To be honest I don't have FS9 installed and never had that happened in FSX or P3d.
The only thing I can think of is maybe try another plane and see if you have the same issue or try with another ADF station.
Sorry, that's all I can think off at the moment. Maybe some else can come up with other things to try.

Is it like that with all planes?

First, press the "D" key. If your "gyro" is drifting, this will correct it.

If that is not the issue, then it may be scenery. Are you flying with any addon scenery in that area? It's possible that the author put in the wrong mag. variance when the scenery package was created.

Thanks for the responses - yes it is each plane - as for scenery - I have no idea but will try the "d" button - thanks it isn't a huge problem but it is an annoyance....... thanks again.
