Thank you TheDarkWraith, nice way to start out on the forums! As a God!

Awesome.

It's a bit small at 1680x1050, and not exactly placed in what i'd consider the best location.... but its definately a start!!

At my res, its more to the left and alittle bit more down. it's resting slightly on the speed portion of the Hud.

THANKS!

you can edit the 'Page layout.ini' file, to place it in a better location for you. You want to edit this:

[G3F I2]
Name=Group feedback
Type=1026;Menu group
ItemID=0x3F010000
ParentID=0x3F000000
Pos=512,-710,512,58
Zone= 512 58 512 58 0 1 0x3F000000 0.3 -1 0x3F010000 -1 1 0 0

The red line controls placement. The 0.3 value is what you want to change to move it horizontally (values < 0.3 move it left, > 0.3 move it right - use small increments as these are like %s of the total value! - values like 0.05 increments to start). The -1 value right after it you would change to change the vertical position (values < -1 will move it up - use small increments as these are like %s of the total value! - values like 0.05 increments to start). You can probably get it bigger by using a bigger TGA image of the dial.
Like I said it was a quick hack to get SOMETHING up to tell me where I was heading and to be able to order directions.

Lovely! And so it begins.

I hope that with some help, we can have the other dials soon as well.

A quick hack works more then well enough for now. Of course refining it in size and placement when other dials become available is inevitable, but for now it adds one of the most major oversights back into the game. Even at a rudimentary level it is awesome.

Thanks again.

YESS!!!

Thank you!
