Good day,

Is any way of having GPS map orientation set to Track up versus North up?

Thanks.

There are mods for the Avionics that do this and so much more.

GNS530/430 - Latest version at https://pms50.com/fs2020/gns530/pms50-gns530.zip

G1000/G3000/G3X - Bottom of the page at https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages

Thank you!

 

If is not too much, I'm completely green on this and have no idea how to install it and activate.

If is anybody willing to spend some time to explain step by step I would appreciate it. I downloaded the files but could not find any guidance how to install for each airplane and how to activate track up.

Thank you!

Just extract those to your Community folder.  It's in the same area as your main install. (at least for a Microsoft store purchase).

Ok, and how do I switch to "track up" please.

You best bet is to install MSAddonLinker ( https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker ). Download that, unzip it to anywhere you please and create a desktop shortcut to the MSFS_AddonsLinker.exe file. This is basically a mod manager that makes handling mods easy. It will find and use the MSFS Community folder for you so you don't have to search it out.

Next, create a folder anywhere you please for the addons you download. In MSFSAddonLinker click Tools/Options and then the Add button to enter the folder location you created for your addons.

Now, anytime you download a new mod for MSFS, unzip it into your created addon folder (in my case above E:\Games\MSFS addons) and MSFSAddonLinker will automatically make it available to your game. Launch MSFSAddonLinker and click to activate a mod or make sure they are not clicked to not be activated. That's it. When you start MSFS all checked mods will be active.

 

There is a lot more the program can do including presets, launching MSFS and other programs for you, etc. I suggest reading the thread at

On the G1000 click on the Map button and then TRCK UP. There will be a indication on the MFD which mode you are in.

 

On the GNS530 you click on Menu and then select which mode you want.
