You are right charlie; when i went back to that thread i saw a red text "your content will need to be approved by a moderator". and when I clicked it, my post reappeared, in edit mode. Then I clicked submit and then saw the full text of my post in red, with the mention it needed to be approved. I guess I just need to get used to how this forum software works, sorry!

Martin thank you very much for helping me getting to grips using these AP functions by sharing your experience and tips in such a clear and complete manner! I was indeed talking about the little pitch wheel that is part of the AP system. With regards to the pitch wheel disengaging the VOR.APP; I must be confused about that; I'll be bringing your tips into practice next time I take the old lady for a spin! Thanks again, Scherm

Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but not entirely new to flight simming. Recently I started using this great model for flying in NeoFly, and it's really awesome to have this extra challenge not being able to just punch in a couple of navaids in a GPS and just sit there twiddling my thumbs during the majority of the flight.\ However, I am having some problems with the VOR./APP capabilities of the autopilot, which I assume are related to me not understanding completely what the different switches on the autopilot, glareshield and overhead panel radio stack do. The result is that oftentimes, the plane suddenly changes course when I dial in the frequency and OBS2 of the next VOR on radio 2, while I am under the impression that the AP is using NAV1 radio to follow the course set by OBS1 --> (A:AUTOPILOT NAV SELECTED, number) == 1 My first question is: what is the workflow when you want to fly inbound/outbound from one VOR to the next using the: NAV radio 1 and 2 frequency settings OBS course settings 1 (and 2?) on the glare shield The left and right Radio 1-2 switches on the glare shield The HDG mode of the AP The VOR./APP mode of the AP I watched some youtube videos on VOR navigation but could not find the crucial steps to hop over from one VOR to the next using 2 NAV radios and 2 OBS settings. My second question is: how to efficiently manage climb and descent using A/S, ALT and TRIM functions in conjunction with throttle management? Since there is no "Flight Level Change" function where you can simply dial in a climb speed and (optionally) have the luxury of capturing the desired altitude automatically resulting in the plane leveling off; I end up sometimes needing to use "ALT + Throttle back" to reduce the airspeed, then wait until the plane slowed down to the ideal climb speed, and then to resume my climb using "A/S + Throttle up". Conversely, when I am working on the descent to destination airfield, I have some problem managing my descent rate when I use the A/S function of the autopilot in conjunction with Throttle down. So instead I tried to use the trim function, but the problem with the trim function is that it disables the VOR.APP Hope you guys have some tips for me to make flying this model even more fun and satisfying than it already is! Greetings, Scherm

Thanks for reaching out Charlie! It's this topic:

Sorry if I am asking this in the wrong place, but how can I poke a mod to review my earlier post in the freeware f27 thread?

Thanks for the warm welcome! I hope I can make a contribution to the community by sharing experiences and information about the little projects I've been working on over the months, and going forward.

Hi fellow simmers, Been simming on and off since CFS2 and picked up the hobby with fs2020 earlier this year. Like many in this community, I'm fond not only of virtual flying, but also the more technical aspects including interfacing with the sim using hardware like streamdeck etc. I fly fs2020 almost exclusively but am pondering whether to purchase a copy of XP12 as well. Currently, I am using NeoFly to add some purpose to my simming adventures and I enjoy that a lot. I also like to fly in groups online but at the moment I am not part of such a group. Greetings, Scherm
