Title: Compass rose on clipboard.
Post by: StokesAk on January 12, 2011, 09:17:47 PM: Maybe a compass rose on the clipboard, activated by right clicking and pressing "Compass Rose".

Just for those of us who are directionally challenged. :aok

You fly East, you're tired, maybe a squaddie is saying something weird because he is drunk. You may need a little assistance. :aok

Normally I would agree with this logic, but.... Just today I had to ask a squaddie why his tank was moving in the complete opposite direction of the town he was going to defend. A momentary lapse of reason I guess.

I've always wanted one, if for nothing else, just for looks.
