[Flightgear-devel] HUD and 'view_direction' in cockpit.cxx

[HB-GRAL <fli...@sa...>]

Hello

There is a bug reported with HUD 'minimal' since some changes in 
cockpit.cxx. This HUD does not use 'heading' for Gyrocompass, it uses 
'view_direction'.
http://code.google.com/p/flightgear-bugs/issues/detail?id=146

Since some changes in cockpit.cxx it seems like 'view_direction' is broken.

I did a change now in cockpit.cxx and it seems to be fixed here. Can you 
please check this and commit this change to 'next' when you think this 
is right?

Thanks, Yves
