Directional Gyro doesn't work

[Flak_Rambler]

When you spawn into any airfield, the Directional Gyro always point 0 degrees, when it should point to the magnetic heading of the airplane.
Also, if you set your compass into the right heading, and you start to fly, it doesn't point correctly.
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? I posted this thread some weeks ago in the issues section, but got no answer.
Thanks

I've had that problem before too, luckily its REALLY hard to get lost in the English channel, and its always France is east, Britain west... but how to fix it, I'd like to know too

Are you setting the directional gyro up from the compass? you need to work out your current position before you head off, and then set your directional gyro to that...

Reading some of the material around, pilots had to regularly adjust their directional gyros as they would slowly lose their position.

wouldnt France be south and England be North?

Wouldn't that depend on your position? :)

indeed, you have to set your gyro manually before you start. thats a gamefeature , like it or not.
