On May 15, 1918, Lt. Howard P. Culver navigated between Philadelphia and Belmont Park, near New York City, using this liquid-filled compass installed in his Curtiss Jenny.

Included in the Package:
Two new liveries for the JN-4:
1918 vintage compass
1940s Grid Compass and Chronometer
Updated Instrument 02 view to show the compass
Removed heat blur effect

SU12 Compatible
This mod is compatible with the updated Jenny cockpit and if you select the 1918 or 1940 liveries, you will have the compass instead of the tablet.

Installation
Unzip and copy the jenny-jn4-compass-mod folder into your Community folder. 

40th Anniversary Bush Trips
At the moment, you cannot use the compass liveries with the air mail bush trips. I would like to make this possible in the future. 

Using the Grid Compass
Under the glass is a "spider" with three pointers. The pointer with a crossbar will point to magnetic North and the other two to East and West. To read your current heading, rotate the outer compass ring until the markings on the glass line up with the spider and read the heading on the ring at the top.
To follow a heading, rotate the outer compass ring until the desired heading is indicated at the top. Steer the aircraft to maintain the spider within the markings on the glass.

The compass ring can be locked in place by the locking mechanism.  It is unlocked at start. 

Using the Chronograph
Click the winding stem to start and stop time. When stopped, you can click the reset stem.  

Special thanks to the National Air and Space Museum for the reference image of the 1918 compass. (https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/compass-lieutenant-h-p-culver-1st-us-air-mail-flight/nasm_A19680559000)
