Hyperdark Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I mainly fly low and slow prop singles and would like to be able to reference the compass, problem is in all the aircraft I fly the compass is simply unreadable even if I zoom in its always dark and indistinct. Is it just my setup or is this just how it is? P.S. Thanks for letting me in:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just my setup or is this just how it is? P.S. Thanks for letting me in:) I too fly the same way, however :) I plan my routes with a LOT of waypoints, taking me over various parts of a city that I am flying in, looking at the sights. I am usually 1,000 AGL, set the autopilot and just relax.

Hyperdark Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Nobody else has this problem?, maybe everyone just stopped using a compass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagorandy Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Which aircraft? On some, like the 152, the compass at the top center of the windscreen is hard to see. I usually just go out to external camera mode which clearly brings up all the various pertinent info. Compass, speed, trim, flaps etc. I dedicate a button on my joystck and yoke to that quick function.

Hyperdark Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 Which aircraft?...pretty much everything I fly which is light GA, mainly Bush aircraft like the Cubs, Kitfox etc and sometimes stuff like the Carenado 337. They are all unreadable to me, seems to me its partly due to the awfull 'eye adaption' implementation as most of the aircraft I fly have the com[as just above the coaming and so the effect comes into play and darkens the interior as you look in that direction.
