Then you'll have to look for an add-on compass, or for a way to change the compass yourself. All development on P3D v. 4 ceased years ago.

You must either find such a compass as an add-on on the web, or you'll have to make one yourself.

L-M is not going to provide one.

Indeed, nothing will come from L-M on either v. 4 or v. 5, no development is taking place on either of those.

All L-M development is on v. 6 now.

Sorry to have to tell you this -

Hello Thomas,

Ok, I now understand that the Mission Compass is not missing from the Sim but its color being black (not blue) in P3D4 is your question/request.

The gauge is listed as blue_compass in the Gauges\Missions.Cab folder in FSX, P3D4, P3D5 and P3D6 but it displays as a black compass.

So, it was either a change made by LM starting with P3D4 or it is a problem that you discovered in P3D4 (but also present in P3D5 and 6).

Your request for a blue gauge is still a valid question for LM Staff to answer.

Got a screenshot of the gauges folder content:
