        It's broken, stuck at 360 degrees.

          It's already in the list of fixed items for the next update:

            There is a workaround in the meantime whilst waiting for patch 3, posted by one of the team earlier:

            Whiskey compass is broken and has been for many since release, they are fixing it but here's the workaround in the meantime
            it can be fixed manually be editing the 'JF_PA28_VC.xml' file in \Packages\Community\justflight-aircraft-pa28-arrow-iii\SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_PA28_Arrow\model
            <PartInfo>
            <Name>UPPER_compass</Name>
            <AnimLength>360</AnimLength>
            <Animation>
            <Parameter>
            <Code>(L:UPPER_compass, number)</Code>
            </Parameter>
            </Animation>
            </PartInfo>

              I managed to get it to kick into life for a while (not sure how!) but it got stuck on N again after switching to drone view and back.

                      Worked for me as well. Actually, there is only one line of code that messes up the compass. Fix it and the compass works. ```
                      <Code>(L:UPPER_compass, number) 10 *</Code> to be replaced with <Code>(L:UPPER_compass, number)</Code>

                      The only difference that I can see is the [ **10*** ].  If that were to be deleted, you should be good.
                      I do suggest that you back up the original file though, just in case.
