October 15, 20214 yr 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 MSFS, NaviGraph Charts & FMS, Pilot2ATC, FsHubR5 3600X ,RTX 2060S, 32GB, SSD

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