I mean this makes just totally sense that the little plane icon illustrates your planes ACTUAL heading.... and NOT your desired heading. The desired heading is illustrated by the 12:00 position because this is the heading you want your plane icon (which is basically your plane) moving in to
FACT is atm in CloD: As soon as you press "course setter increase/decrease" you rotate the little plane-indicator as well as the whole outside ring which turns as well in the same direction. EVERY other german plane works right now totally fine in this aspect except for the He-111P.
I am in game right now with the He-111H and if I turn my aircraft, the little plane shows my actual heading whereas the outside ring stays at North 12:00. If I press "course setter increase" the outside ring rotates to the right together with the little plane with my actual heading. This works the exact way in the Ju-87, Ju-88 and Bf-110. When this little plane points to W, i fly West, to E, i fly East and everything inbetween. Once again the outside ring stands perfectly still
The He-111P on the other hand is exactly reversed regarding this plane indicator. I fly East, the plane indicator points to W, i fly West, the plane indicator points to East, i fly Northwest (315°), the little plane points to 45°NE. The mouse overlay on the other hand shows the right heading all the time (look at my screenshot i posted before: the mouse overlay says 321° which were right, but the little plane icon points to NE) |
I can confirm the reversed behaviour of the repeater compass in the 111P. The rest, well, it's the first i've heard of it
I always use the plane icon as a heading selector and the 12:00 position as my current heading when navigating manually, when climbing on course autopilot, when on the bomb run with R22 autopilot, etc.
The repeater compass has no effect on the AP, but since the gyro tends to drift and need frequent adjustment i just read my headings and waypoint bearings off of the repeater compass with the method i described above, then command the AP to turn until the repeater compass shows i'm pointing at my selected heading.
