I noticed something funny yesterday: The course on the MCP at the FO's side was 352. I asked the FO the following "Set course on your side 000". The FO started turning the course to 000 (clockwise), but then...continued by turning the course to 90, 180, 270 and 000 again (it did one full turn). So it did more than required.

 

Is there someone (like Bryan) that can confirm this?

Ummm, please use 3-6-0 instead of 0-0-0.

 

FS2Crew is expecting you to say 360, not 0.

But it doesn't recognize "Set heading 360"

Woops... woops... woops!

 

 

Disregard everything I said above.

 

You can say "Set Heading 0 0 0" or "Set Course on my Side 0 0 0"

 

I just tested it.

 

Do not use 3 6 0.

But should't it be 360?

Yes, it should be.

 

* Orest

The PMDG MCP doesn't have a 360 for Heading or Course.

 

On the PMDG MCP, it goes 359 then 000.

Yep,

 

It should be 0 0 0 guys, double check it with your MCP, 360 doesn't exsist

yea only with boeing aircraft you noticed if you go to your air bus its uses 360 instaead of 000

The MCP shows 000, but it is still called "heading 360". ATC will never tell you to fly a heading "000", they will say "360". Clear as mud?

depends on what aircraft you fly in fsx if you fly the default airbus i think mcp shows 360 where as the boeing aircraft shows 000 havnt tried any other of yet

True... you'd need to discuss that issue with the Boeing Engineers who designed the NG.
