The incomplete stock UI

I don't want to sound too negative but I still feel that going back to dials and a total reskin is the answer. It's your mod darkwraith and I greatly respect the work you've already done so ignore me if you wish!

Edit: I'd wondered about an input box myself but it sounds a wee bit fiddly.

well the current heading indicator will be just that - a heading indicator. You won't assign headings from it. It will just tell you your current heading.
This debacle is a good one. Maybe this is why the devs left it 'as is'.
I think what I'll do is add an interface to the right of the heading bar that the user will use + and - arrows to set the desired heading. This way you can command a specific heading and you'll have the visual feedback of what heading you picked.
The rudder will be a tape like the speed/depth Advanced modes showing 40 to 0 to 40 degrees deflection.
