P2A not recognizing my heading?

Recommended Posts

I have a small issue with P2A.

Everything works fine until approach.

For an ILS approach ATC will instruct me to turn heading 310 (as an example). I comply and turn heading 310 (set on the HDG for autopilot) and turn to 310.

A few minutes later ATC will come back up and instruct me to turn heading 310. Well uh... I'm already at 310 ?

This happens pretty consistently on ILS approaches.

I have course deviation 'allowance' set for 10 degrees, and off course warning timer set for 60 seconds.

What am I missing?

If you email me (admin@pilot2atc.com) the log files for one of these flights, I can have a look.

P2A Log files are located in: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\P2A_200\Logs where <UserName> is your PC user name. 
Portions of the path may be hidden by default, so be sure Windows Explorer has Show Hidden Items checked in the View tab.

Assuming you're on the latest version of P2A, 2.6.2.3R2, then the likely cause of this is your aircraft may be displaying True Headings instead of Mag Headings.  Check for an option in the aircraft settings to switch between these.  

Vectors are given using Mag Headings.  

One user recently had a similar issue with an A320 and switching to True Headings seemed to fix it for them, indicating that the aircraft had the setting reversed.  So, if you have a heading type option, try switching it to the other setting and see if that fixes it.
