Magnetic Variation issue on the ND (A320 P3D5 but is the same in v4)

Hi

 

There appears to be a magnetic variation issue with the ND , i normally use the Fix Info page to set up an extended centreline.. For example ref fix EGKK26L then radial 078  (opposite of 258) gives me a nice lined up blue centreline ... but if i use the radial in feature then it seems out by a few degrees.. I'm doing a flight atm so will get a screenshot of what i mean, this could cause issue when putting manual fixes in using radials and distance as they will be off by a few degrees and may affect holding as well... set up a hold for 300 left-hand turns but the Airbus flies 297 etc .

As you can see the blue line has lined up with 26L fine … But the green line is out by a few degs, both were set to 078 (opposite of the 26L final app course of 258)

On final 26L ... the radial in line (green) is out by a few degs whereas the Fix Info blue line is lined up with 26L fine both set to 078
