Warning - the following is just a wild guess. I think that this might be due to excessive side forces reported by JSBSim when the aircraft is stationary. This results in the instrument physics code 'locking' the compass as though it was forced to the side of the cage until the force subsides. Once you start rolling down the runway the compass unlocks, but it's a pain for setting the DG when stationary. That's my guess as to what's happening - I could be completely off base, but it doesn't seem to affect yasim models IIRC.
