Jochem,

There is no +towgs84 equivalent of +exact. One of the many reasons to not use the old style syntax. Unfortunately that doesn’t solve your problem with QGIS. Unfortunately the QGIS custom CRS is still based on the PROJ.4 way of thinking (as far as I know, it’s been a while since I last tried it)

Actually since 3.10 we've also supported direct WKT(2) definitions of
custom CRS, and the GUI strongly pushes users towards defining custom
projections using WKT over PROJ now :)


Well that’s good news! Any chance I might be able to define my own PROJ transformation pipeline between a layer CRS and the project CRS then? That’d be handy from time to time and would probably also fix Jochems problem.
