I think I like the idea of uninstalling and parking it until msfs 2020 is more stable and less buggy.  Hello P3D. 🙂

No I am talking about Auto Pilot   I have the co pilot off. I built the flight plan inside the sim itself.  Low altitude airways, High, it doesnt matter it flat out will now follow the flight path 

Of course its engaged.  Please see original post.  No matter what plane I am in my flight plans load fine however once I jump in the plane and engage AP and engage NAV the plane always turns to heading of 355

No I am at the airport,  I take off I engage AP and fly the Runway HDG for a bit, initiate my climb via VS then engage NAV and the plane goes straight to 355.

Also to note ATC tells me the exact same thing they tell me to turn to a hdg of 355. When clearly my flight plan is different.

I have tried everything I can think of to remedy my problem but I have failed. Here is the issue

No matter what plane I am in my flight plans load fine however once I jump in the plane and engage AP and engage NAV the plane always turns to heading of 355.  On the G1000 the flight plan looks right but the plane no matter what goes to that HDG of 355.   I am dumb founded what it might be.

Any thoughts?  Thank you in advance

I do not know what happened yesterday I was flying from Texas to San Francisco on two separate flights. Both flights were ILS landings.  First leg went fine and dandy other than the lineup on the runway was about 2 degrees off but the approach and glide slope were good.  After I landed I took a little break, never shutdown the sim.   

Sat back down setup my flight for another ILS landing  everything looks good to go 

ZERO ATC traffic...complete silence

I take off engage AP   (good)

Engage FD  (good)

Engage NAV  (not good)   plane takes off on its own path and doesnt follow the gps at all, so I take over the flight and use my HDG to get the plane back on track

So in a nutshell  NAV and ATC somehow went SPLAT and no longer are working ...any ideas?

Remember the flight before everything was great, I have rebooted several times and tried 3 flights in a row after this failed attempt and no love with those 3 either (the exact same issues)

Thanks in advance.

VGBARON....you were right it was turned on in the on screen drop down..how weird!!!!!!  Dunno how it got turned on.  Thank you all so much for your input!!!

Ok  bare with me here the listed steps below did not prove to be successful

1.  Unplug all peripherals excluding the mouse

2.  No key bind is set for the co pilot

I have rebooted 47 times with different peripheral layouts with zero success.

I have eliminated everything usb connected other than the mouse and it is still doing it.  i even set the key binds back to default for the keyboard.   Rebooted blah blah blah and it still does it.  I am at a total loss.

Ok Here is the issue.... Trying to fly the 172 G-1000 plane.....when I get into the cockpit the plane takes off full throttle all by itself.  The throttle quadrant is at zero yet it goes to full throttle. I was thinking it might be a reverse axis issue, however this happens with nothing plugged in but the keyboard and mouse. I have eliminated all of my hardware that I use to fly and it still does this.  Please help!!!!!  Thank you in advance!!

The hardware I use is Saitek Yoke and throttle quad......and like I stated above even when they are unplugged the same thing happens.   Even happens with other planes.

Here is a video of what I want to do.    I just want to make sure it can be done with the Milviz F-15 before I get the hardware.

Wow  Thank you very much for the detailed reply.  I have to admit I am a little lost on a part of it though.

Replace GaugeName with the name of the .DLL gauge you copied + pasted into your FSX gauge folder.

I didn't copy any .dll gauge.  I am trying to display the MFD in the sim as a gauge by itself by hitting Shift and a number.  Just like the 3 in the .cfg file now.   I am unsure how to do this.   Is there somewhere I can find the MFD info?   

Window01=GPS    Where is this GPS info at?    Am I making  any sense?  

Hi,

Ok here is my plan.  I want to take a couple of the Thrustmaster Cougar MFD's and overlay a USB display with them to show the Milviz F-15 MPD/MPCD.    Dows anybody know how to change the panel.cfg so I can show the MPD/MPCD's as a gauge?

Currently this is what is in my panel.cfg file.  I hit Shift and either 1,2 or 3 and I get the following gauges

Thanks for the reply Steve

I have the correct version and renamed those files.  no good.

I want to install TacPack and the F18E Superbug.   TacPack was the last thing I installed and all went to pot.  I have reinstalled several times.  No good.   Topics I have read are to turn off Compatibility and to not run as an admin.

Bout to pull my hair out

I was able to achieve the look I wanted on the top 3 using your advice.  Thank you very much.   https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7TuZc32tqcjTGZxb2liVU8zUEk

I am not crazy about the bottom monitor with the instruments the way they look.     I think I am going to get some sort of panel software.  Unless you know a "trick" to get the look I am wanting..I don't like the top part of the view in the bottom monitor.  It has a lot of unused dead stuff that could use some serious improvement.  Thoughts?

Thanks a ton GB

Thanks for the reply....

I got the idea of my startup procedure by watching this video   

• I dont understand how he has the 3 monitors all showing the runway without any of the instruments showing when it first launches.  That is the look I am striving for.
• I have no problem getting the VC to show on the 3 monitors..its just not the look I am going for. 
• When I try what the video shows on adding the instruments..there is a black border around the instruments.....dunno why  the resolution is the same on all of the monitors

I am OK with forgetting about monitor 4 and 5 for now...but I gotta ask should I look at networking a machine to run FSC or FSTRAMP and Panels on the 4 &5?

Thanks GB

Hi folks,

I am trying to get my setup just like the one in this link.....  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7TuZc32tqcjS1hfRlQyMVlPQVk/view?usp=sharing

I have 2 video cards... Nvidia GTX 770 running 3 monitors with Nvidia Surround  and a Nvidia GTX 750 running the other 2 monitors.

I do not know what I am doing wrong.  here are the steps that I am going through

• Launch FSX
• Go to full screen using (Alt Enter)
• Tap A key until Virtual Cockpit is visibile
• Resize the cockpit to get the gauges smaller and drag it to the bottom monitor...will not let me go full size though
• Resize the display showing the runway across all 3 top monitors
• bottom left monitor will not let me run FSC on it..it is just black but I can see my mouse scroll across it
• Screens will flash black and come back several times

this is essentially unusable for what I am wanting to do.  I was going to get a third party SimPanel application but I am not going to do that until I can get the results I am expecting with what I have.

What am I doing wrong..I am dumb founded.             https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7TuZc32tqcjS1hfRlQyMVlPQVk/view?usp=sharing
