Wow! The Canyonlands National Park area looks amazing! I was just there last summer doing lot's of back country hiking, and wow, did Asobo nail it. Beautiful terrrain!

I have flown two flights using the PMS GTN and in both cases, it tracked the routing flawlessly. That said, I did not try in "direct to path" mode, rather I was following a planned flight plan. But in my case, it worked.

Well, I don't have the funds for a 500-series, but I do own two Jeeps that I take on off-road adventures all the time, loaded with my camping gear of course. Many times, those adventures take me to National Parks. 😊

Yup, sight seeing MSFS style 😁 Going to spend a week in the Grand Tetons in August (real life) so definitely need to fly around that locale. Also, Grand Canyon, Rocky Mt. Natl Park, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Bryce and Canyonlands are all places I've spent time at the last few years (one of the many advantages of living in Colorado) so I will need to tour them by way of fltsim chopper as well 😉😁

@ryanbatc I just visited Badlands National Park two years ago myself. Quite an interesting and awesome place. Will have to check it out in the sim in my Taog Dauphin 😉

Oh, you're all good friend, I took it all lighthearted. No harm no foul 😊

Well, I just loaded up MSFS 2024 and got a banner notification that it was available with a green GET IT FREE button. So, I did the normal process and now it's installed. So unless I am in dreamland somewhere, it seems to not be a mistake 😊

I just logged into MSFS 2024 and the World Update 22 US National Parks update is released!

I look at a few of the pics before I decide to download a livery. I definitely like more than one, but I don't need nine shots to decide if I like it or now. Three to four would be good for me.

I have also conducted a flight with the Garmin and it tracks and follows NAV as well. It seems it is just the TDS that has the problem. But, Good to hear they are on it. I was told the same on their discord last night.

@vbazillio Okay my friend, set out from KRNM in my new Taog AS365 Dauphin chopper and conducted a short flight to KBNG. Before taking off, did some drone exploring around Ramona. Wow Vincent, you are really getting good at this scenery development thing. I mean, you've been good, but this is next level for you. Great work! And free! Thank you!

I am loving this helo too, but I am also having a NAV/GPS issue. Not necessarily a TDS GTN issue, but when in NAV mode and following GPS guidance, I have everything set up properly, but the CRS in the ADI cannot be adjusted so my helo keeps going due north. HDG mode works fine, and I can adjust the HDG bug in the ADI. But once I am in NAV mode, the CRS bug cannot be adjusted. I asked about this on the Taog discord, and I was told they are looking into the issue as others have reported it too. Not sure if that is the same problem that @ryanbatc is having. Overall though, this helo is amazing and I have only delved into the AS365 so far. So much to dig into!

This sounds amazing @vbazillio! Ramona has always been one of my favorite airports of yours, and I have been using it through many iterations. I have enjoyed seeing it grow and improve under your hand. Need to go download the update and check out your latest amazing work 😊

I am loving this Taog release as well. I have not had the time to dig too deep into a flight using the TDS GTN yet (on this bird....I've used it many others and love the TDS GTN). In one of the preview streams I watched the other day, the streamer used to fly the Dauphin for real and he was one of the test pilots for this release. He said the Taog Dauphin WILL fly an approach, all the way in, but the 3 axis auto pilot does NOT control the collective, so the descent has to be managed either through airspeed or angle (I think...trying to remember the details). Collective will still have to be managed manually on descent. I don't know if that helps you at all @ryanbatc but something to think about. The Dolphin on the other hand DOES have a 4 axis auto pilot, so the situation might be a little better on that side.

@sd_flyer I posted a link to download the manual from the Taog discord (see above).
