Fix for the new unusable black compass? - McGregor - 07-04-2014

Does anyone know of a mod to fix BIS new murdered out, and for me totally unusable compass? I can't read the bearings at all


Re: Fix for the new unusable black compass? - McGregor - 07-04-2014

As the topic states we are looking for a fix to the new black compass. The berings are unreadable. It might be a mod that causes it but it seems like it's the latest update

Posting our Steam conversation:

12:39 PM - Variable: Are you currently using any compass mods? I thought it might be because of my compass enlargement addon
12:40 PM - Tody_too [McGregor]: I'm using that too. But I have been looking around and the general talk on forums seem to be that BIS update did it. Might be wqoth trying without it though
12:40 PM - Tody_too [McGregor]: woth
12:41 PM - Variable: Can you post a link to the discussion? And yeah, worth a check without mods first
12:42 PM - Tody_too [McGregor]: there is a support ticket for it. have not read trough that one
12:42 PM - Tody_too [McGregor]: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=19438&nbn=8
12:43 PM - Tody_too [McGregor]: just did some genarl googling on other forums

Iceman confirmed it's broken and will be fixed in next stable branch:

When you have a GPS, it unrealistiacally shows your heading, we can use that in the mean time, it's much more accurate anyway...

I tested this mod and it works very well. It brings over the compass from Arma 2

Yep, AFTP Compass Fix was working fine for me last night http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=24411

I plan to replace the existing compass mod with that in PwS when we update our mods list.

Does the compass' disc turn as in Arma 3? Or fixed as in Arma 2?
