LOL... Who can tell me what is wrong with the Whiskey Compass in PMDG's NG? And it isn't even April 1st!"Ya canna break the laws of physics", as Scottie would say. Beam me up Vincent! ;-)Cheers.Ian.P.S. OK, so I'm dumb... it took me a few weeks to figure out... I still think the beta guys should hang their heads in shame :(P.P.S. By the way, why is my windshield wiper sitting on the dashboard in the Landing View??? Isn't it supposed to be on the outside of the window :-lol

Post a screenie Ian, Maybe it's cause you are on the other side of the equator?Ray

"Post a screenie Ian, Maybe it's cause you are on the other side of the equator?"Must be it, Ray.... Otherwise the heading values on compass wouldn't be back to front... and my floating ball wouldn't be going in the wrong direction at twice its normal speed (relative to space... not the aircraft). :-lolPIC and default FS aircraft seem to be ok tho' ;-) E.g. point the aircraft in a direction where you can see two compass values... e.g. 210deg and 240deg, then change to, say, the Extra 300. Watch what happens to them.http://members.ozemail.com.au/~b744er/737/WhiskeyCompass.jpgI'm surprised Mr Randazzo didn't spot this one ;-)Cheeeers.Ian.

At least I know I'm not the only one experiencing this... Someone else just posted a screenshot with the compass in view... similarly back to front" :-)Cheers.Ian.
