Some Issues Common (it seems) to all Megamods

One exaggerates not to mislead, but to enlighten.

I have still not been able to fix the compass. Like I said, I'm new to modding. This stuff is only starting to make sense. I've been trying to fix it in the Porpoise. Using Silent 3ditor I have picked through the Porpoise_CT.sim file. I have found 4 Gyro Compasses, but so far, changing the Display Value of any of them to min180 max-180 has not fixed the Command Room compass. Am I still looking in the wrong file?

Found the relevant setting is the Porpoise CR.sim file, Dial Index #79. Edited the Display Value to min-180 max180 and the Real Value to min180 max-180 and now the Aft Gyro Compass points true. Now all I have to do is get the Diesel Engine Telegraph to stop behaving like a Rudder, and get the compass at the Helm to work and I have fixed my Porpoise. I think.
