I can now confirm that with the flight plan deativated in FSNAV after creating it, the flights could perfectly! So well in fact RC complimented me on my abilities in the debrief!!!Thanks everyone!Phil

was fsnav flying the flight plan?

No - the onboard GPS system was flying the flight plan, it was simultaneously active in FSNAV where it had been created....seemed to be causing a conflict both together with the plan loaded?Phil

Phil,Sounds like you have way too many programs running at once and are getting confused: Or these programs are goofing each other up.Go back to simpler flight plans, simpler planes and shorter flights.One by one you should find out what is causing all the confusion with these directions you are getting.Learn the tutorials! They are fun and exasperating at the same time, but it teaches you.Good Luck to you.
