pauldog 18 Posted December 3, 2014 My Compass appears to be sending me in almost the exact opposite direction in .51 - anyone finding the same thing? Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solodude23 649 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Was playing .51 exp the other day and my compass was telling me that north was to the west. Was fixed by a relog. Edited December 3, 2014 by solodude23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zeotrope 76 Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Can't be positive but it could be a damaged compass. Check if it's Damaged / Ruined / Worn .....or Pristine. I had a damaged one the other day that was indicating the opposite direction. Found a new one an all was good. (!?) Kinda makes sense.

pauldog 18 Posted December 4, 2014 It's Pristine - re-log seems to have helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitthegreat 43 Posted December 4, 2014 Yep had a compass telling me north was directly into the sun last night. It was pristine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickyriot 1009 Posted December 4, 2014 I like the idea that a compass, when damaged would not give a true direction instead it just floats about giving a rough one. As for the fake reading, I am sure I've had this recently. I think that you just need to put the compass away then take it out again. I was on the Northerly road to the East of the NWAF. Wanting to avoid the airfield but keep off the road I go into the adjoining woods. I do some running and spot I had lost sight of the road so need to check the direction I was heading. Out with the compass, check North and start running again. Within 100 meters or so the road appears but perpendicular to the direction I was running. It should be N/S (or NNE/SSW) but according to the compass it said it was heading direct East (it clearly wasn't and if that was the case the Sun had somehow started setting in the NW). Ignore the compass and start running again parallel to the road. Decide to check the compass once more and it was now showing the correct direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magodark22 31 Posted December 5, 2014 Yep, it seem that chernarrus magnetic field is having some anomalies :) , i use the compass a lot and sometimes it is pointing the same as 0.50, other north on the compass is west on the map and some other times north on the compass pointing to the south !

Nebulae3 420 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Well, damaged compass is not 100% accurate - I've experienced no issues with a pristine compass so far. Edited December 5, 2014 by Ori42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And usually Heli crash sites nearby. )) Edited December 5, 2014 by Ori42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
