Pilotage on PilotEdge Youtube Stream

Hi Keith,
The youtube “Pilotage on Pilotedge” stream you produced was a real treat and a great way to use those skills to stay sharp.
I have a question about the flight. When planning a pilotage / dead reckoning flight by hand and using your flight as an example, how should the magnetic variation be applied in X Plane? Does one make that variation adjustment through the HSI or the compass that sit on top of the Baron’s dashboard?
Then there is magnetic correction which I think is only for the dashboard compass but the correction card is barely readable.
I guess I’m trying to understand other than the winds aloft correction angle, should the other corrections I mentioned above also be applied in X Plane? I don’t know if X Plane has that variation capability versus a flight in real life.
Thanks for your time and fantastic stream!
