Possibly since recent XP12 update (12.1.03) I have noticed that my aircraft symbol is being drawn in moving maps offset from actual position. This was not previously the case. Even zoomed in to airport layout level the symbol used to sit very accurately on the map. I believe it is a drawing issue…

Hello! Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the late response. This post went under our radar. What platform are you using when you see this issue? Our web app? Desktop? iOS? Android? Do you see the same offset everywhere? Kind Regards, Malte

Hello Malte. The issue was on the Android app and was not location specific. Since I reported the issue there have been two updates of the charts app from the Playstore and also at least two updates to the Simlink plugin for XP12. After these updates the issue no longer occurs.

Interesting! Thank you for the update. @WebMaximus also has this issue on Android, even with the latest update. Our current internal hypothesis is that this has something to do with the Map scale settings in the app. This is purely based on this screenshot by @WebMaximus : [image] iOS/iPadOS v8.…

To comment on this, I used 150% IIRC but already tried going to 100% where the issue persisted.

What WebMaximus is seeing is similar to what I saw (although my ownship icon was always offset to the north of my real position. I’m currently on Android v 8.38.3 and I’m currently in a flight and my ownship icon was highly accurate on the ground and is now looking good in the air. I’ve never moved…

Thank you for the additional insights! So far, the only thing we can say for certain is that this seems to be related to Android, and not necessarily tied to any specific simulator ( @WebMaximus is using MSFS). We shall look further into it. If you find any further interesting details or find a reli…

Just did another test and to me, it seems the issue somehow is related (or at least affected) by the zoom level. The further you’re zoomed out, the bigger the discrepancy will be between your aircraft and the projected route as seen in the screenshots below. This is with scale set to 100%. Also as …

Mercator. Having said the issue was fixed following recent app and Simlink updates it occurred again over the past weekend. Each time it did, the ownship icon seemed too large and was offset from the real position - irrespective of how close I zoomed in. Each time, a simple restart of the app fixed …

Thank you! My post was aimed at @WebMaximus . Apologies, that probably wasn’t clear! You already mentioned your projection, so we’re trying to narrow things down even further. [image] JohnMcP: Each time it did, the ownship icon seemed too large and was offset from the real position - irrespecti…
