Can anyone assist me with setting up a compass for BF 4.5.1? I think I have all the information needed, just not sure what or how to put it into BF correctly

Look like compass option will give ppl loads of head scratching. Not sure but it look like compass aligment is related to FC alignment and not to aircraft.
Long story short.
My compass upright orientation with arrow pointing front is CW270 Flip. In case thay FC's arrow is pointing front then all good. But when I turned FC on yaw axis 180 physical and 180 yaw in BF then in order to get me magnetometer working I had to change mag orientation to CW90 flip. Further on if I rotate FC 180 yaw axis and change sensor orientation in BF by 180 then original compass orientation CW270 flip work. So I'm confused which settings we should modify if we turn FC 180 yaw. Is it board yaw rotation or sensor???? And then yet we have a tilt to deal with yet 😂😂😂😂😂

The FC must be oriented logically so that it is functionally flat to the frame and rotated so that the pitch axis points to the nose of the quad.
The Mag must be aligned co-planar to the functional orientation of the FC (functionally in the same plane after the relevant orientation corrections) and so that its X axis points to the nose of the quad.
Therefore both must be functionally oriented one to the other, and both are functionally oriented correctly to the frame of the quad.
