Real Navigation Issue

Niteowl84 · 03-02-13, 05:36 PM

hey guys,

i'm pretty new to to SH5 and such ... however much like any sim player i love realism...and so i got the real navigation mod along with a few others to make it as realistic as possible.. however i was following one of the tutorials online for real navigation... one huge thing i noticed... he could manually set his bearing... which i cannot... that compass thats supposed to be there at the bottom of the screen to make my heading isnt there...instead i got a lil black empy rectangle shaped box lol...so i tried using the periscope and set heading that way...always wind up going the wrong way :/ so my question would be is there anyway to get that compass/dial to appear/work cause it seems i cant use the real navigation without it :/ many thanks in advance
