British planes has 2 instruments, the P-8 Compass - horizontal mounted behind control column, almost impossible to read in CloD due:
- Lack of shortcut "glance at compass" - like is possible in IL-2 BoS or DCS Spit Mk. IXe.
- Lack of
"Lubber Line" in compass 3D (even in DCS Spit this is not done correct, but there was a "workaround").
And the Directional Gyro (DG or DI) in middle of cockpit, that is more easy to see/read, but this instrument is "dumb" and always spawn out of order, so is need calibrate then with P-8 Compass information.
Is possible ignore DG calibration - since this instrument became un-calibrated after high G maneuvers, and need in flight calibration - and read directions in P-8, but since this is a naval instrument (why is mounted in horizontal) is need read the compass needle (+) mirrored.
All you need understand and do is well explained there:
