I measured deviation values for Blenheim and it varies from -3° to +7°.
I created a picture that should help with more precise navigating on the Blenheim airplane.
How to use? Simple! On the picrure presents numbers. In internal circle of numbers you must find value that best match to the navigating course you whant to fly, then you pic up a corresponding number from external circle numbers and add picked value to the navigation course you whant to fly. Thats it, you calculated the heading of your airplane that you have to fly.
For example: You whant to fly navigating course 122°. The number in internal circle that best match is 120° and the corresponding value for it is 8°, so 122°+8°=130°. Well, you must fly with heading 130° by magnetic compas.
WARNING! BOTH COMPASSES ARE LIE IN BLENHEIM WHEN CLIMBING OR DIVING. (edited)
To set this picture to your airplane cockpit, copy and paste 1.tga to game dashpics folder. For me it is: "C:\Users\Rostic\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\DashPics\Selected"
Or just print it or download to smartphone or tablet.
Dashpic itself: 1.zip
