Unhappy Heading Indicator

As already mentioned in another thread, in the Hurricane (as well as in the Tiger Moth, can't comment on others), it's pretty much impossible to navigate by anything else as by the minimap with activated icons. The magnetic compass is so badly obscured it's pretty much unreadable and, as a consequence, you can't put the right heading into the gyro compass.
The only thing I've been able to do about this is going full aileron left/right in order to see the magnetic compass, and then to zoom in by mouse. Aside from hand/finger acrobatics, this can, obviously, only be done on the ground and, additionally, it's quite inaccurate.

Now, I can live with most other bugs somehow, but this is the very thing which annoys me the most - as it's a huge step backwards for me who has already done successful navigation without any minimap icons and by radio beacons in Il-2 1946 4.11. I hope this is remedied rather soon. I noticed that the Hurricane and the Tiger Moth have the same, 'ship-style' magnetic compass so it could very well be that these are only placeholders for now.

So, to solve this annoyance, I'd lobby for bringing back the Heading indicator, as it was in 1946 (red letters in the lower-left corner, possibly with the additional G warning, too).
Or maybe somebody has already a working, convenient solution for that... could it be that the heading indicator is already there somewhere, hidden in the Info window options? Again, if somebody has this solved, please let me know! /sadface
Alternatively, I'd love to hear a word from the devs about this, how we're supposed to do advanced navigation and so on.
