Yes, that's right.

Hi.

I was reading scrolling through the forum when I came across this thread.

I’m guessing by your avatar that you are South African? I got my VR920 in the USA last week and the tracking worked fine there. However when I got back on Monday, I had to set it up on my PC and had this exact problem. If you would turn it a few degrees the indicator on the tracking would suddenly jump a 180 degrees.  After calibrating it numerous times, on a flat table and what else, I did get it eventually. Works fine in FS X now.  So it must be our country. Look like our power is not the only thing that doesn’t work properly.. J

Earth's magnetic field strength:

I live in the bright pink bit at the bottom of Australia, with a magnetic field strength of 70,000 nano-teslas. You live in the dark blue bit at the bottom of Africa, with a magnetic field strength of 10,000 nano-teslas. So I have 7 times the signal strength that you have!

Also I have read lots of things about magnetic anomalies in South Africa.

That's an interesting map, could explain a few things.

Another thing to explain is my ADSL modem's Aerial sitting just above my monitor. I'll just stick my head in the ground quickly I've been staring at this thing for days now, and never thought much of it.

Maybe I can make a psuedo magnetic field. I have a few VERY strong rare earth magnets lying around. These should work as their strength is such that you cannot seperate them by vertical movement.

A plausible explination then.

Well if so, then I am wondering just how Tod and the Technical support guys are planning to fix this one? Life is full of little challenges, eh?

Seriously though, I understand they are working hard on fixing the firmware upgrade. I am looking forward to it since I use a ATI 1900XT and the stereoscopy still eludes me. So maybe if they could just give us a rough estimate of when they expect to be done, it would be much appreciated.

I live in Adelaide, not quite as strong as Tasmania.

From that map I assume that there is not much in the way of iron/metal deposits in africa to give a magnetic anomoly (as in MAD detectors) effect. As I'm in Cape Town, well the darkest blue area = weakest field strength.
Interesting to see how the other continents all have strong magetic fields..

"I'm magnetically disadvantaged and require world compensation..."
"Here boy!!.. Have a magnet"
