Course Setter and DI readings for North - correct?
 
I just noticed that the Course Setter and DI show 0 degrees instead of 360 degrees on the screen readout.

My understanding is that heading references for north are usually referred to as 360 degrees. I have never heard a course reference of 0 degrees.

Cany anyone verify what it should be in the SIM?

Thanks

Aviation convention is that North is heading 360 but it pretty flexible so 0 is just as valid.

You may even find that the cardinal mark 'N' could be used.

I believe this one is like the type used in warbirds like the Kittyhawk and Mustang'

Cheers!
