Fixed and rotating compass dials

Hey guys!
I was wondering: In SH2, you have an inner and an outer compass dial. Only the outer one rotates while the inner one remains still (just like in SHIII), so that the inner one always has 0° at the top and the outer one the current heading of the boat.
But in SH2, you can click on both to alter your course, while in SHIII you can apparently only click on the outer one (i.e. the one that rotates with your boat). It was much more convenient in SH2 because if i wanted a new course, I could simply click on the inner dial, while in SH3 i have either to caluculate or find the new course on the rotating dial. Is there a way (i.e. a mod, or just a keyboard command I don't know yet) to use the compass dials in SH3 like they could be used in SH2?
