Garmin PC Trainer and VOR NAV

Featured Replies

I've downloaded the free Garmin trainer software and have been messing around with a GDU 700P and GTN750 combo.

One thing that does not seem to work is getting it to use the AP to follow a VOR radial.

I can tune in the VOR, get its ID, I can set a radial with the CRS setting and it will show me the deviation from that CRS.

However with the CDI set to VLOC and NAV mode on the AP it will not intercept or follow the VOR radial.

Am I doing something wrong or is intercepting a VOR radial not supported in the Garmin PC Trainer?

Thanks

Would you better clarify what you are using?  Are you just leaning with the Garmin Trainer itself, standalone?  Or are you attempting to use it with one of flight simulators?

Just the Garmin Trainer itself.

I'm using it on my laptop that cannot run any type of regular flight simulator.

There are a number of youtube videos showing use of the stand alone trainer.  Perhaps they can provide the answer.  Check this one at just beyond the 30 minute mark.
