X Plane over New York City. Headings, anyone?

[evan]

I just got xplane and I'm wondering what my heading would have to be to eventually fly over Manhattan. Best answer goes to FIRST person who has the accurate bearing.

One needs to know where one is to get to know where one is going...?  ???

[Lukasz]

That, plus which heading? Raw magnetic, calibrated magnetic or true heading?

-TheoGregory:  He said "I just got xplane".  My guess is that his origin is the default X-Plane airport.

lis:  He said bearing, not heading.

Hey, be kind to the n00b, we don't want this place turning into the .org shout box!

Anyway, it might be a riddle - Evan, will 030 do it, am I warm? (assuming no winds or torque steer)

My guess Evan, is that you just need to get familiar with the Location menu up top, just click that and 'select global airport', then type in the name of the airport or ICAO, like KJFK. Then u don't need bearings! Or you can select a closer airport to practice, or even drag your little plane around in the map once you are airborne (watch out for birds, the amount of time I drag a plane to a better position and end up crashing due to dragging through a flock of Pelicans..)
