Aircraft not responding to flightplan (resolved)

Recommended Posts

I manually input a flightplan into my Reality XP GNS 530 and select activate. The plan shows in the 530 but the aircraft does not respond to it. The GPS button is activated.  Am using P3D 5.1 and the aircraft is the Aerosoft Twin Otter extended.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Which GPS button are you referring to?  And what settings have you selected in the Configuration panel? (see page 5 of the User's Manual).  The settings needed vary from aircraft to aircraft as not all aircraft model developers write to the same standard(s).

When you first power up the GNS gauge, stop on the Test page and verify that the HSI needles deflect correctly.  It not, adjust the GNS settings as per the previous post.

When you then want the GNS to steer the autopilot, make sure it is in GPS mode, not VLOC mode..
