My staff and I when useing sweat box need to add 30 deg to the heading so they go in the right direction. Is there any way to fix this?

I've been learning how to use ACSim (Sweatbox) recently, pretty straight forward, the only problem I have is similar to this. I've noticed that the heading are about a 30 degree offset, so the aircraft don't establish on the localiser properly.

I thought it might be to do with the magnetic variation, but couldn't find where to change it. I also noticed this thread: http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=10420

So it seems that it is possible to edit the magnetic variation.

 

Could anyone explain how to change the magnetic variation, or does anyone know of a solution to this problem.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Edit: After reading abit more clearly I've discovered its a usual problem for other areas. I think I now know where to change the magnetic variation, in the sector file I'm guessing.

I'll have abit more playing around to get more familiar with things.

Regards,
