🔸Compass

A compass is created when you prepare the scene. You can hide it with H key or in the "System" collection. It is possible to draw the compass again if it was deleted with the button in the "Initialize the show" section.

The drone repartition must be followed exactly when placing the drones in real life.

You should never modify manually the drone repartition position.
