Description

Airplane data received from ADS-B receivers and shown on MP flightdata screen does not have proper heading. Heading of the planes changed randomly on every update.
@meee1 expects this to be an scaling issue on ADS-B data handling

Screenshot with two example planes that icon spins around and their real flight path checked from flightradar. Also one plane on bottom right corner of airport is just making a takeoff (backwards) and top left corner one plane coming to landing.

Research direction

Start with the Sample-ADS_B-data.zip attachment and the MP Flightdata screen where ADS-B aircraft are shown. Compare headings across successive updates with the screenshot and flight paths described in the issue. Done means aircraft icons retain the correct heading instead of changing randomly on each update.
