Is there a digital magnetic compass that I can install on the panel in certain aircraft?

Take a look at this site:

http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/aircraft.htm

The panel does have a digital readout for the compass I believe.

Likely whatever they are using could be "added" to another panel.

An excellent find, Dave!.... Smiley

...!

Well worth downloading the aircraft to obtain a selection of digital read-outs for various Gauges from the Panel.cfg file.

The sort of thing I'm always on the look-out for, to add to my "useful gauge" collection!

I have downloaded the Learner aircraft, but what gauge within the gauge file is the one for which I am looking? Undecided

This one?...>>>

gauge18=learner\AP_Hdg_dig_chw!ap_hdg-dig, 722,342,50,26

(AP Heading Compass).

or.... gauge19=learner\cad_dcagauges!adfbearing, 730,570,60,29

Add one of the "Learner Gauges" to your panel to try them out!

Pick a blank spot on your panel (X,Y coordinate) and modify the X,Y coordinate of each "Learner" gauge to suit, and add it to the Panel gauge.cfg file list...(and SAVE it each time!).

I have a fairly good working one now.

If you are still interested let me know and I will arrange to get you a copy to try.
