There's nothing stopping you from adding the F6-style gyro dials to the F3 screen.

As for a bearing in the F3 screen, all you can do is add the firing solution bearing dial(s?). The problems here are

1: the dial is only updated when auto-update is on
2: from memory, the 10ths dial isn't what I think you think it is but I could be mistaken
Sol-ution. Stupid me! I think I got 'moonstruck' and got fixed on astro-lingo.

I made a typo. I meant tenths of degrees. I'd like to measure scope bearings in sub-degree resolution. I think I saw that 1-10 Gyro dials responded to sub-degree scope movement in the F6 view with similar change. And if it only updates when TDC is in auto, sounds perfect. I only want to read it as I take bearings, not set it. No doubt the helmsman course instability is going to irritate me but that's something I'll have to live with. Somehow! <sigh>

BTW, I just looked at Dial13. There's the line "Logarithmic=30" in it. Ubisoft surprises me with that. Looks like that dial is defined as a logarithmic curve with a parameter. I presumed the TDC Range dial graphics was fitted to hardcoding. The question is now, can this be used somehow? (thinks Range/AOB finder)
