Gyrocompass overhaul

I leave gyro compass off all the time, so that my navigator officer is always working at the desk because the navigation falls low.

Example script to disable the little text value of current heading underneath the gyroscope icon in the UI. Should be easy to update your mod with!

using DWS.Common.InjectionFramework;
using DWS.Common.Resources;
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UBOAT.Game;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Main : IUserMod
{
[Inject] private static ResourceManager resourceManager;
public void OnLoaded()
{
SceneEventsListener.OnSceneStart += SceneEventsListener_OnSceneStart;
}
private void SceneEventsListener_OnSceneStart(UnityEngine.SceneManagement.Scene scene)
{
try
{
if (scene.name == "Main Scene")
{
GameObject gyroValue = GameObject.Find("GUI/Viewport/ControlUI/Values/Gyrocompass Vaslue");
gyroValue.SetActive(false);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Debug.Log(e.Message);
}
}
}

Superb idea for a fun little mod I must say. Vielen dank, Herr kaleu.

Thanks for your comments!
I tried to implement the gyrocompass align function. There are some problems with it that need to be solved.

Also, I am working on another big mod at the same time, so gyro stabilizing function will have to wait some time

I second the idea of needing time for the gyro to stabilize itself after turning it back on. I enjoy this one. Thanks for the great work.

"The projector compass is installed forward of the conning tower in a pressure-proof casing together with the compass rose illumination and optics system which projects the view of the rose to the control room. To eliminate the influence of electric currents to the magnetic compass, non-magnetic materials are used within a radius of 900 mm from the compass center."

Under the compass symbol you can still see the Course as a number

I mean, you don't have to do it, it's just a suggestion. Again, thanks for this super awesome mod!

AWESOME MOD!!!

Do one more thing: the Siemens S3 TDC gets the ship heading from the gyrocompass. So if you turn off the compass, you no longer get the heading, and if the boat turns, the solution is no longer good.
Basically, the bottom left inner dial should stop turning is what I'm saying.

@Drexack is correct, it would take around three hours for the compass to return to the correct angle.
