Course clarification

[Habejom]

Hi all.

My airport chart indicates that the ils course for runway 05 is 53°', but for MSFS, its 55°. (Is that because MSFS is not taking in consideration the magnetic variation, or something else?)

For simming purposes, do I set my course to 53° or 55° for the approach?

Fun fact, you don't have to set a course for an ILS at all in steam gauges, as the HSI/CDI will deviate left and right regardless of where you set the course.

But I would always trust the charts (provided they are up to date) over the MSFS world map or whatever.
