You got it right, if you want to fly geographic north, you need to set your in-game compass to 350.



In other words, if you fly straight North as shown on your compass you are actually flying 10° geographic.

*edit* now I see why you were asking, I wrote 'substract' but I added 10 in one bit.

*edit 2* - oh no, got it wrong here, of course you need to substract 10!
