Here is another thing which is apparently common to all mods and therefore either represents an unfix-able problem, or no problem except my failure to understand the device's function. In the Command Room there is a bulkhead with gauges on it. All of these gauges work correctly, but (or so it seems to me) the compass is screwy. The compass shows only the Cardinal Directions, N,S,E,W and it has an arrow pointer which indicates the direction of travel of my sub relative to those headings. But the arrow pointer seems backwards for East and West, although it points true to North and South. If I turn my sub to Due East, the pointer indicates Due West. It can't be that I'm looking at the wrong end of the pointer, since there is only one end. If I turn my sub to SW, the pointer points SE, and there is no way to correct for it except to consider SE as SW and vice versa.
There are plenty of compasses, but it irks me nonetheless.

I'm joining you in your disappointment with #2 the CR. That Aft Nav station shouldn't even be there from pictures I've seen. But it is there.
That aft gyro-repeater compass box looked to me like it was designed to be an engine telegraph box (because it matches the other box to the left with the same knob) plus there is 1 other gyro-repeater compass by the helmsman CR station - plus the gyroscope in the CR so I just got rid of it on my install and with much help moved it to the right, changed it to a telegraph and put a knot-meter in the middle instead, but that idea went over like a lead balloon. I'd like to see somebody gut that whole station someday. At least Vickers made things look and work better however it is still devoid of reality.. lol.
Vickers did a tremendous job with the interiors so you might want to try his. I'm using his interiors now. I think he may have that Aft Nav station gyroscope working correctly and I believe he fixed the other gyroscope and gyro repeater to have the outer rings correct ... at least one of the outer rings was 180d off if I remember right.
Happy Hunting!
