Datagram 25 trip calculation: factor for W should probably be 4096

Open marcobergman opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

The factor 65536 in Knaufs description of datagram 25 would cause the trip to make big jumps. It occurs to me that 4096 is probably the right factor.

Come to think of it, it might as well be the other way around: that the factor for Z should be 65536 in the calculation of total. My log is at 2370 NM miles now, I'll let you know when I'm at 2^12. If W becomes 1 then, it means that Knaufs specs are inconsistent and the upper 2 bits of YY are always 0.
