Compass does not respond to the mouse. Had to use keyboard rudder commands -- even then, the compass does not move -- hung at due North.
NOTE: Blitz sent me the DIALS.cfg fix for this, so I am pressing on with testing.
Come on guys, no offense to anyone. Cool heads. All is good!"DIALS.cfg" has been one file forgotten in the Beta2-archive and I mentioned it after PM told me on the phone.
PM also informed me that "DIALS.cfg" is missing in Beta2, so I told AK and he tried: Add that file and all is good.
Problem solved.
Note to HS: Please include "DIALS.cfg" in next Beta
