Because I just can't work it out. It seems a bit random.
It seems to be based on compass position for both aircraft and controller.
Moving either affects the pointer.
Yesterday I flew in a straight line away from home point and the radar pointer was pointing in more or less the same direction. If I moved the controller left or right the arrow moved in relation.
However today, no compass recalibration done and stood in the same place, heading in the same direction, the arrow was pointing to bottom left. Almost opposite to the aircraft's actual direction of travel.
It's giving me a headache trying to work out the relationship between radar, aircraft and controller.
Can anyone give a decent explanation without simply pointing to the Litchi manual which explains nothing.
