Hi...

I think the support crew will need a bit more info on your setup - probably sim and version of aircraft ?

I don't know your experience - so have you checked the CDI button on the GTN to insure it's in the correct position (LOC vs GPS) ?

Are both indicators on the Horizontal Situation Indicator or HSI ("Heading Indicator") not moving when you spin the respective knobs on the bottom of the gauge - Heading Bug and CDI ? 

A screenshot of your panel during the problem might prove helpful...

Regards,
Scott

So this is what it does,im direct too and its just going to go straight now,all the knobs move.Im on the newest version of p3d.You know how you usually have the localizer bar move across ,that just stays in the middle.How do i post a picture?I cant find where to insert it.

 

 

Hi...

You have to host the pix elsewhere and just post a link here - dropbox, imgur, flickr - etc...

There is an option in the GTN setup to have the yellow CDI slave to the course on the GPS - that might be why the yellow bar doesn't move - depending on how you have it set... That shouldn't prevent the small heading bug from moving around the outside of the HSI...

The center part of the yellow bar on the HSI should move back and forth showing you how far to the left or right of track you are...

OK - on your GTN lower left of the display - since you want to do a "Direct To" or "DTO" - there should be an indicator to select what NAV source the HSI is using - the two options should be a purple "GPS" or a green "LOC" - - - can you tell us which is set ?

Regards,
Scott
