He who won't listen, can't hear...

Look at the attached approach chart for 36R at DFW
http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/1109/06039IL36R.PDF

The appoach course is 356 (APP CRS 356), not 360, so in this case you set your approach course (heading) to 356.

Look for the IAP (Instrument Approach Procedures) chart for the runway in question and that will tell you the approach course.

If this is a US airport you can probably find the chart at www.airnav.com

Don't argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
