[Mod idea] Realistic compass

Probably a dumb idea, you've been warned :)

In the case of classic HUD, implement a compass that behaves like a compass: the needle aligns with North, and assuming that the whole compass is aligned with the needle (maybe with a slight delay), direction is actually displayed at the top middle of the compass.

A compass and a mini map that uses the local map. :idea:

If you really wanted to get crazy the compass could be hand held and you'd have to look down at it to use it.

If you want to get really crazy, you can fix the orientation of the Iliac Bay by moving North about 45 degrees Eastward.

I suspect there's no right fix for that, because then that's the sun course that will be wrong...
