Hi, does anyone know how to let the aircraft for example the A320 fly the GPS high alt routes? I know its not very realistic but back in the FS9 there was a button called GPS where if you press that it would just fly the headings on the GPS lines. Can this be done easily on the A320 or any plane?

Short answer: no. You have to program the route for the autopilot to know where it's going. You can however program high altitude airways in the fmc. There are lots of tutorials on youtube you can watch.

Thanks. Will take a look at some videos. Never used the GMC before and it's looks a bit intimidating

One you do it you will realise how simple it is.

It really is. Don't let it intimidate you. Once you get the hang of it, its not bad at all. Check out simbrief.com You get flightplans from there that you can upload into the FMC so you don't have to manually enter everything. You'll still need to set up performance data, etc, but thats pretty easy as well. 

Just google FBWA320 beginners tutorial and follow it step by step. It's quite rewarding to figure out how to program and fly an airplane.  And as always, people are here are quite knowledgeable with this stuff, so don't hesitate to ask questions! 

Thanks, the community here is amazing! I used to post here quite often back in the days of FS9...Ive been out of the loop for many years. Glad to be back
