The update is out on the marketplace!
Now the compass works (and beautifully so, including inclining when banking) and it even seems to be a little bit easier to handle. Not so much that I’d call it a walk in the park, but it feels like I have a better than 50 percent chance of survival now. We’ll see how the landing goes in an hour or two!
Huh, seems like the altimeter is stuck now. Can anyone else confirm?
Another edit: huh, it seems the problem was firmly placed between the yoke and the backrest. Turns out when it’s high air pressure and you’re flying at only a few hundred feet, you won’t notice the altimeter needle moving. D’uh. So all’s good, completely false alarm on my part!
