And a really short video on an upcoming mod, the Cold War Vessels by James J Jackson. I watched Devotion last week for the first time and he put in a livery of the Jesse L Brown Frigate for the Knox class on short notice. Much appreciated!

I think you have to… Being this curious isn’t good for my blood pressure.

Flying the ILS approach into RWY 25 at Bodø (ENBO) via BEKDI and TAKUP. Charts are included with the Kola map and will be in your kneeboard when you fly on this map. I think all DCS Maps should come with charts, at least for the larger airbases and airports.

Double this!. I can’t find a lot for the Persian Gulf map for instance. My usual sources seem limted.
If you have a Navigraph sub, they have the Jeppesen charts and the new Rogers EU VFR maps. The two can be combined, with an adjustable opacity. Good for planning I suppose.

I always get confused with the headings on the included charts. I always thought “written is true, spoken is magnetic” but then I recently learned headings on approach charts are magnetic. Except it seems I’m never flying in the specific year that these charts were published because the in-game heading and chart heading are always in disagreement.

Yah, the Earth’s mag field it about to ‘invert’

Maybe because runways are magnetic. 
Remember there are several issues with charts that are not specifically for DCS. You already mentioned that mag var changes over the years but DCS is also a strong believer in a flat earth (hurdur) so the maps use some form of projection. Charts will only be correct(ish) for airports close to the maps’ center if the date is correct for the chart. It’s especially noticeable on large maps like Kola. For example while ENBO is +6° for the year 2024 compared to the included charts, ESPA is -1° and iirc Rovaniemi is also fairly close.

Now that sounds like a job for AI, “hey, Siri, take this chart and rotate all angles n-degrees, then redraw it”
Thought about doing this programmatically; I have [close enough] terrain height data; access to the runway angles; etc. Simple straight in approaches (based on navaids). Then I think about what it would actually take to implement it. Not enough time (yet). I watched a coworker do something similar (MSA stuff) 30 years ago, by hand; big chart on the wall; ruler, compass & protractor. Ick.
I thought it was our job to calculate the variation
