I was headed southbound to MMTM from MMMY as obviously depicted by the GPS, but shows tracking 348!?!? The autopilot is correcting, but flying a heading of 352, and is noted on the strip above (that can be used to display lat, long and frames per sec, etc.) as well!?!? The only thing true in this, lol, is the GPS in the HSI are, showing 183 to MMTM, lol...when I departed MMMY, I was cleared for RWY 11, per FS9 default ATC...but in reality, I was head 360 on departure...and was the appropriate RWY for the winds as well since they too were out of the North. Any thoughts would be helpful, lol. It's not an issue that arises too often, and I havn't had a problem yet flying VATSIM...and later on in this flight, the headings ended up showing normal for the flight...not too sure what the deal is...lol

After continuing the flight, the headings seem to be erratic, showing 031 as well...have no idea at this point, lol

Oddly enough, I 'ended' the flight once on the ground and attempted to do a DVA flight from LAX to SFO in the CRJ9...POSKY model with the skydecks panel. I attempted to fly the VTU5 and was unable again because of the heading indication problems. I just operated a flight a few nights ago on VATSIM into MSP with MSP_CTR on and he vectored me in with no issues of this sort. As Im flying to SFO, I'm using vasFMC and it seems to know what to put into the HDG box oddly. Im flying to the VTU VOR from LAX, but the HDG indicates 148. I have no idea at this point, lol...just gonna try and restart FS9 and see what happens.
