I need to eliminate the magnetic compass in the A-4B (move it out of the instrument panel). Firstly, this cockpit data.ini works for the MD-450 for me. However, it does not eliminate the magnetic compass. What do I need to do in addition to this?

 

Here is my cockpit.ini. named MD-450_cockpit.ini that I tried to edit:
