Problem with 360 bearing tool

Think I have a problem....heading is not lining up with my true heading ...its off by a quite a bit. Any suggestions on how to correct?

Many Thanks

Caused by sea currents... helmsman compensating for boats drift...

Nah, it's a well known "problem" Pato never got solved. But the above suggestions works for me...

Oh well.....at least i can use it for an excuse back at base for why my torps keep missing.

Well Admiral Sir....you see its Pato's fault

It's off by one degree. Has been since the mod was first created for SH3. The error might be annoying but I don't think a "fix" has ever been found. It actually makes little difference when plotting a target bearing.

I've never notice that, but if it's 1 degree to the right, just subtract 1 when you're doing your calculations.
