Okay, another one of my quadrillion questions

. I take CoD on with a certain roleplaying attitude - after finishing basic training in the Tiger Moth, I'm "converting" to the Hurricane right now to get a thorough understanding of that crate before throwing myself into combat
So, the question is: I understand that I have to set the directional gyro to be in line with the magnetic compass. But the magnetic compass is almost completely obscured by the control column - in the Cane, at least (6dof could perhaps remedy that, but I don't have such a system... yet ^-^). How am I supposed to get any directional info? Right now, I can only navigate by looking at the map, with Icons and Map paths on.
Am I missing something? Or is there an universal, "digital" Heading indicator like it was in Il-2 1946, in the lower left corner? (perhaps even featuring a G-Force indicator)?
Thanks in advance
