Default Compass onboard

Its annoying that you can't set a course. There is no HUD compass. If you know your course you can go to external view and swing your mouse around to change heading to bearing. Very awkward way of changing course. It baffles me how this basic boat control function is overlooked.

Now there are compasses on the sub.

One is hidden on the bridge and very difficult to view
Another is in the conning tower in front of the sitting sailor
Of course there is one at the navigation table
Lastly there is on the table in the radio room

All are hard to view unless you use Free Cam 'N' key to move in closer.

They have the correct heading as far as I can tell except sometimes the radio room is wrong.

The one mod that is still current as of April 2023 is the "Attack Disc". It has a working compass feature. This is the same attack disc that we are used to using in other subsim games.
