Is there a way to tether the compass to the spyglass? The camera resets the angle when I let shift go and I have no idea where I was looking.

Good idea, I’d like the same

We have it in modern periscopes.....not sure it would fit in with the immersion of this game.  It would be great if when you stop looking through your telescope the normal view is on the same bearing though.

Someone already asked this a while ago with no luck.

That's what would happen when you take the glass from your eye.

Thats one way to name a thread

And I like the suggestion.

Oberon makes a good point.

Having a digital azimuth displayed in the optics is more modern than what would have been available in the age of sail.  Personally I wouldn't like to see a compass inside the spyglass, but the game would be improved if the view matched the direction with or without the spyglass.  Seems to be a flaw that the view jumps to a different facing with a spyglass raised.

Having expressed my preference I don't care if other players have the option to see a direction inside the spyglass.  But please allow us an option to toggle it off, or turn it off in the options.  At the very least disable it with Ctrl H feature.

Would be better if the view and spy glass was synchronized imo.
