The compass mod in v.3.1 only really worked right at 1G. Now I've fixed it to read exactly as it should no matter what your attitude or acceleration. The only thing missing is the underdamped oscillation most of these things exhibit, and I'm not going to model that.
For those who don't know, you must be in straight and level flight at a constant airspeed in order to get an accurate compass reading. If you are pitched, banked, yawed, or accelerating, your compass will read incorrectly. (If you're wondering, the error shown on the F2A-2's compass is exactly the error that would be shown on a real compass if you were flying somewhere with a 40
