Maulkin Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 According to the manual: The AN5735 Directional Gyro Indicator is used to supplement the magnetic compass in maintaining the aircraft on a straight course. The indicator is nonmagnetic. Relative movement of the aircraft from right to left shows on the circular card which is graduated in degrees the same as a compass card. This instrument is provided with a caging knob. The Gyro Indicator is uncaged for normal operation. The instrument can be caged to manually rotate the heading card. To cage the instrument, click on the caging knob to push it in and rotate the mouse wheel to adjust the heading. I have tried turning the knob to change the heading but it does not do anything. I have also tried to cage it and it does not appear to do anything either. Has anyone figured this thing out? Also, where is the magnetic compas for the P-51D? EDIT: nevermind I found the magnetic compass.. It is in fact the "Remote Indicator Compass" --Maulkin Windows 10 64-bit - AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 3.7 GHz - 32 GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM - EVGA FTW3 RTX 3080 - Asus Crosshair VIII Hero motherboard - Samsung EVO Pro 1 TB SSD - TrackIR 4 Pro - Thrustmaster Warthog - Saitek rudder pedals - Lilliput UM-80/C with TM Cougars
kontiuka Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Click and hold the knob with the left mouse button. Then you'll be able to adjust it with your mouse wheel. EDIT: You can also click and hold the knob with the left mouse button and simultaneously click and hold the right mouse button and move the mouse up and down. There's no real need to adjust it though. Drifting of the gyro is supposed to be modelled in the P-51 but isn't so the gyro is always lined up with your true heading.
