Oh. I used the HUD quite a bit in the past because it gives me
information I really want given the limits of the input devices I have
(mouse and keyboard...).
How about the HSI on the A4 panel? It appears to be fixed at true
heading, and it doesn't seem to be adjustable (it's supposed to be a
gyro, so it should be).
