I use a couple of blobs of Blu Tack on the keyboard - one for resetting the altimeter pressure setting, one for the view point arrows, just lightly scan my fingers over the keyboard until I feel a blob, works well. Thought the passthrough on my new crystal light was going to be useful, the poor quality black and white picture isn't the problem, it's the lag following my hand movements, lags about 3 secs or so behind real time, makes it unusable. Anyone got it to work properly?

Thanks Dillon, Got mine last week, followed the VRsimguy's setup video as suggested, worked fine out of the box, had to unplug and replug the USB a couple of times, to get the software to see the headset, but otherwise worked flawlessly. Have ordered a foam spacer and counter weight from studioform, although I don't find it particularly uncomfortable, just a tad nose heavy, I don't do long sessions, mostly an hour or so. Useful thread! Eugene

FSS 727-200 TURNING ON AUTOPILOT WHILE IN CLIMB
Overload replied to btacon's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I've solved the mystery, yes I was using the latest software for the GTNxi and the 727, but was using the GTN on VLOC green mode, not GPS. I'm mostly flying old school, but like the groundspeed and track display, and sometimes use the direct to function just to see the track and distance of a waypoint, but not the GPS mode to fly it there. If I put the GTNxi into GPS mode altitude capture works well. So I now use the more basic Garmin 530, which gives me track and ground speed, which is nice to know, in VLOC mode, so I can still fly old school, and the altitude capture works fine with the 530 in VLOC mode. Many thanks for your help, I don't think I'd have worked it out on my own! -

Been away longer than expected, but fired up the sim today, updated the GTNxi, and the 727 (V 1.03) so had high hopes of a fix, but altitude capture still hundreds of feet off. Disabled the GTNxi and altitude capture fine. No a big problem for me, I mostly fly the 727 old school, but surprised it isn't fixed. -

Thanks for that, I'm away from the sim for a few days, but will test it when I come back. -

GTNxi, could that be the issue? But generally not using it in gps mode. -

I have the same issue, plus the altitude capture never works properly, always hundreds of feet off. Anyone know how to fix that? -
Not sure, but think it's got something to do with it being an obstacle departure. Shows up in Navigraph, but seems to be a departure which permits a visual climbing turn, crossing the airfield at a minimum of 5600 ft, then on the 313 radial to the FCA VOR. The other 2 sids are normal instrument type departures. But just my best guess.

I'm looking at the UK chart published by NATS, which seems clearer to me, You cross the CDF NDB at 3000 feet, go outbound on a track of 287 (CAT A/B), 277 (CAT C/D), descending to 2500 feet. at 5 DME (ICDF) descend to 2200 feet, at 8 DME right turn to intercept the 12 Localiser, should intercept the glide path at 6 miles from the runway.

Foe alepro21 Expect you probably know this, but Navigraph produces a log file, accessible by doing this: Press Win + R. Type %appdata%/Navigraph Charts/logs and press enter. In the Explorer window that opens, locate the main. log file. Had a look at mine - mostly gibberish to me, have you looked at yours?

Hmmm, wonder why? I use Navigraph most days, have the unlimited subscription, but apart from hardware changes (new PC), or a new aircraft Navigraph integration upgrade, I never have to re-authenticate. Must be very frustrating, surprised Navigraph have figured out the reason.

The model in the video is £48,700, about $61,500 USD, that's way more than I'll ever spend on a car.
