Anyone else have the magnetic compass going crazy? Mine vibrates rapidly by about 30 degrees or so, almost unreadable when it gets bad

That is a normal behavior when blowers are On and/or windshield defrost is On.

I don't know in other aircraft but in this one:

So, yes, compass IS affected. How much would be variable and subjective.

It is an artistic interpretation. Generally in the airplane, I found the compass to be rather steady and off heading with windshield heat. The vibration makes it less subtitle in a sim where the compass itself is presented much smaller than real life.

So, while the issue cannot be smoothed, why not simply forget the effect? It is just pathetic watch that unreadable compass dancing like nuts.
Please, this is a suggestion.
