2. Now read heading odd the Far side of the compass verge ring.

3.Set this heading on the DG

4. Fly the DG and ignore the compass

5. Every 15 mins repeat the procedure

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?

Actualy both a directional Gyro and a compass in real life have one hell of a lag. When I make any significant manouver it will take easily 30 seconds of level flight to stabilise the compass for a reading. If the Gyro has been toppled by a violent manouver it needs to be caged and reset.
