Is it possible to use GPS for autoflight ?

Sometimes I am too lazy to use the INS. Is it possible to use GPS for autoflight ?Thanks

An alternative would be to use a different panel with a modern autopilot system for those lazy times...;)

I take it that is a "no" ?

You can set up a flight plan using the FS flight planner and then follow it manually on the moving map, but I don't think there is an option in the panel to get the plane to follow it automatically.Unless someone know different ...;)

It is possible, and very easy to set up. I decided to fly one of David Dossiere's Hopping round the World flights the other day and changed from the default 737-400 to use the Tinmouse II 732 instead. I couldn't work out at first why the HSI wouldn't respond to changing the VOR course until I realised the the HRW flights are all set up with the Nav/GPS switch set to GPS. So my flight was automatically set up to follow the GPS and it followed the FS9 flight plan without problems...To switch it back to normal Nav radio navigation I've assigned a keystroke to Nav/GPS on/off (as it puts it?!) in the control assignments menu in FS9. And that brought my 732 back to normal without a hitch.So, if you want to do this the other way round so that VOR/LOC follows the GPS flight plan this is the way to do it.

Why not just add a NAV/GPS switch to the panel? Regards, Bob.

You can edit your panel.cfg file to add a nav/gps switch. Back up your panel.cfg file first! Add the following line to the main panel section...gauge62=737-400!Nav GPS Switch, 655,369,25,26The location of the switch is indicated in the pic.Sidney Schwartz KPDX

the original tinmouse, you can switch the nav modes just clicking in the switch at right of the HSI.dim green light - vorstrong green light - GPS

The RAD/NAV switch has been recoded in the TinMouse II to switch between the radio nav and the CIVA INS. It won't play nice with the GPS in NAV mode.Any nav device that drives the standard FS heading bug (i.e. FS Nav) should work OK with the TM2 provided the NAV/RAD switch stays in RAD.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile

Try the PT sim KLN90B, very detailed freeware GPS that can send data to the HDG mode.I put a tutorial on the forum.www.protu-154.com
