Mod request: Enhancing Compass Visilbility

[Bearfoot]

So, even under non-VR 4K, I have found that I need to strain just a little to read the main compass. The numbers are all the small, in fine print, and, most importantly, all the same size (i.e., nothing to distinguish the cardinal directions N/S/E/W).

 

Now, in VR, it really does add to the strain!

 

I was thinking that if we could just have N/0, E/90, S/180, W/270, etc. marked up in bigger, bolder, different colored font or something, so that even at blurry glance without being zoomed we could make them out, then it would help a LOT! Yes, it's not like that IRL. But hey, we would not make it past basic quals if we had eyesight like that IRL! So maybe a mod for "old people/VR eyes" to help?

I'm on board with this, and also make the needle easier to differentiate between which way I need to head when using the nav wpt or ADF functions. Unless I zoom way in the needle is pretty ambiguous.

 

Is it really this hard to use in real life?

 

Edit* here's a pic of a Gazelle cockpit, and it's easy to see it?

This is what I do,I customize a snap to a close up view of the compass in the middle of the windows and also closeup views of the panels. I have these programed to a 4 way hat ,if you want to lock view's I do this on a 4 way hat program 1 button with Rcontr + 0 the other buttons with the view of your choice ..num 1...num 2... num 3. So you press Rcontr+0 you can swap between your views when you want to go back to default view just press Rcontr+ 0
