2. Now read heading odd the Far side of the compass verge ring.
3.Set this heading on the DG

Is this serious?, I love complex engine management but theres no option enabled on my screen for "rediculous compass management mode". Do you really have to go through all that to know what direction your flying? What is a verge ring and if the directional giro is behind the stick, where is the main compass?
