Compass broken in Arrow V2?

[Bert Pieke]

Is it just me?

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.

@Shado2k Thanks that cured it for me.

Glad it worked for you guys, I take no credit i'm just relaying what was posted earlier thanks goes the the creators and support team, for fixing this, and long may this level of support continue for our hobby .

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.
