Hi all,I can't seem to figure out how to couple the GPS to the autopilot? I've checked through the manual and there doesn't seem to be a NAV/GPS button on the panel?Can anyone help me?N :(

Hi,I can't find one either, but I use Flightsim Commander for flight planning and moving map. If I have FSC coupled to FSX by GPS, I can tell FSC to take over navigation, and the aircraft follows the planned course to destination. I haven't found any other way, but maybe someone knows better?I really like this aircraft, and have flown it quite a bit. I wonder if you have found any of the problems I've had:Established altitude readouts often do not agree with the selected altitude.Airspeed intermittently jumps all over the place.Sometimes the panel freezes, making any adjustment impossible.It may possibly be some quirk of my system, so I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced any of the above.Regards, Jim

Even if there's no button on the panel you can couple the function to a key or joystick button ("Nav1/GPS Toggle" or something like that) from the control settings and then activate it that way.The SF260 from realair is the same way, the function is there but the button is not shown on the panel.I really like this plane too, it's so fast and easy on the frames."Established altitude readouts often do not agree with the selected altitude.Airspeed intermittently jumps all over the place"Sometime when the number dial is about to turn over it looks like it's 1000 feet below where it should be ex 39900 ft looks like 39000 feet.Whenever my airspeed jumps it's usually due to high altitude FS winds changing abruptly.

A fellow Montrealer and friend Miguel Zaera , one of the Developers of the Lear when asked about this item relayed the following :" The reason is that we wanted people to be totally immersed in the period and use correct flight planning + VOR/ADF navigation the way it was back in 1975. It is really satisfying to fly from VOR to VOR (or the occasional NDB for us Canucks), and the DME head on the co-pilot

Makes you wonder why they put a GPS in if you are meant to be flying 70's style! I have mapped one of my joystick buttons to the NAV1/GPS just wish that the HSI would then show the GPS course. Oh well, am still having a ball.
