Reading your compass in a Spit

[whoarmongar]

In the few games I have managed to get online most people seem to prefer to disable the no cockpit view. This is fine by me but I do have a problem. I cant see my compass the flight stick is in the way in cockpit view.
Is there something im missing ?
Can I enable a compass or heading somewhere. Im fed up with getting lost especialy on the cross channel map. I dont consider this a cheat, its not my problem the designers of the Spitfire cockpit didnt consider the needs of a sim player seventy years later. But I would like to see where im heading
