NTSB to make a perfect forgery would want to 'rotate the map' clockwise ~10* through the center of the Pentagon (figuratively) to match their story of the strike run......and do so slowly over the course of the flight's simulation so that they are not initially shown taking off in a farmer's field at Dulles.

In fact, it seems to me more likely just the opposite of what you said. It looks more like somebody wanted to show the flight path coming in VISUALLY north of the Citgo so the map was rotated counter-clockwise on the approach to the Pentagon.

Try lining them both up in the same orientation first my friend.

Rob has shown me nothing to make me believe that he actually can authenticate that the animation came from the NTSB. He is now referencing a poster on the JREF forum named SLOB that supposedly put up his own animation file that matches P49T's animation file. SLOB registered on JREF in Oct. 2006, about 1 month after P49T.org was registered, and about 1 month before pentacon.com was registered. The link to download SLOB's animation only shows that the animation has been downloaded 1 time. I tried downloading it and it didn't work.
Rob then became angry at anybody who disagreed with him and challenged the authenticity of what he was claiming, and began banning people from his P49T forum who questioned him. He even ignored UnderTow's request to get some sort of time stamp off the data file from the NTSB animation CD, claiming that the time stamp was contained in the animation itself.

Yes - but in your twist scenario the forgers (who may be cohorts with a quasi-professional pilots group) twists the terrain “opposite” of their sacred “TRUE VIRGINS MAKE DULL COMPANIONS and East is Least, West is Best” rule?
This seems an unlikely scenario to me.
The created date is IN the animation? At what point? Possibly just a message board misuderstanding, he didn't see your double-underline... But where is the created date and what i it?
(BTW For what it's worth, Undertow at least seems pretty honest from what I've seen.)

If that's what they were doing, that's how they'd do it, virgins and rules of thumb aside. Is there really a preferred map rotation direction? Or just what works to show what you want? Maybe I'm missing something...

So to be clearer on your position-
-you are insinuating that someone has tampered with the animated terrain referent of the simualtion.
-About this disparity - (of which it seems you are ok with the displayed 70* mag/60*actual - i.e. offical story) you are really more troubled by the 3D visual reference which backs North of Citgo and conspiracy.
And while I dont want to put words on your screen, If I am hearing you right it is also your opinion that this tampering was probably not done by NTSB or other official story body.

scrappy,
I havent look thoroughly into it as the flight path is not really a major concern for us as it is for CIT. Our individual films and time spent on the actual flight path reflect this point.
We are more concerned with altitude, vertical speed and other factors.
I defer you to John Farmers work based on your question. feel free to email or call him.. i think he left his contact info a few posts back.

But it is clear if you rotate the the bottom picture to the same orientation as the top.. it is clear the pentgon is not rotated itself in P4T picture... nice try Nicky.. i'll expect your retraction anytime now..

.... If the goal was to show FL 77 coming in visually north of the Citgo then it doesn't matter what the rules are, does it?

I disagree. This is a black box recreation. The animation is a record of actual flight - physical rules apply. Even if data was tampered with the TVMDC must still prevail.
Why would they accept, not catch , or push a fundamental error to the rules of navigation leaving the animation as is? And why didnt they while tampering alter the displayed compass to ~90*mag to match the North visual?
