Hi,
Thank you for this explanation video! It is clear for me how to use this instrument in the Spitfire now.
Good job!
Cheerz,

I'm one of those hold-outs who eschew GPS in favour of more traditional navigation techniques. However, if I spend too long away from the P8, I always forget how to use it properly, so I'll file this excellent video in my flight sim Hints & Tips folder.
Well done Robkr1208, and thank you!

Re: Video: Explanation of the P8 Compass
Good video. Always handy to know how to use the compass, for when all the satellites fall out of the sky after the apocalypse. As long as it's not geomagnetic of course.

Re: Video: Explanation of the P8 Compass
Thanks! That is very kind of you. When I made it I really hoped it would be useful to others. The P8 is modelled so authentically here it seemed a shame not to get into how it is used.Styggron wrote:A million thank yous for this FANTASTIC video.

Re: Video: Explanation of the P8 Compass
Just by the by... for anyone who is frustrated with using this compass and finds it inaccurate, hard to use and inconveniently placed :
That sounds about right. Even in a Tiger Moth where it is much more conveniently placed, it is a bear of a thing to use.
