my impression is that its not working properly.if i make a right turn, the degrees are decreasing, while it sould be the opposite.besides its really hard to hold course, or better said impossible.the smallest movement results in a heavy reaction on the compass.anybody can confirm this?is this a bug?or is it the way the instrument behaved in reality?if it is as it should be, how can one navigate?

Little snippets of detail and realism like this are just brilliant.

Wow an actual conversation about the actual game, be careful guys, people will think this is a forum! Seriously though, nice info, it'll come in handy. I can't believe the workload on these planes, I feel like I'm really getting the feel for what these guy's had to do to survive (much less get any kills).

Aye, the amount of detail on all instruments is insane, from the spinning whiskey compass and the RPM needles oscillating as the prop governor tries to keep the RPM steady, to the airspeed indicator shaking in turbulence and/or terminal speed dives.


By the way, artificial horizons tumble as well during maneuvers. Watch around the 1:00 minute mark here:
