maozhate Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I created the flight plans and check the flight plan has been successful loaded in 172 G1000 system, But you can see that the direction displayed by the instrument is not the same as the flight plan. which has 180 degree difference. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fsc/images/attach/jpg.gif also when I take fly, I use HDG to adjust the course to the right direction, and click "NAV" to use GPS nav, but the flight still not following the right direction. the in fact directions has 90 degree difference with the right route. please help me, I am really confused about this... I will deeply appreciated... thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvensmith Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The autopilot is broken, waiting on Asobo/MS to fix it. Best thing to do if flying GA is follow the waypoints if you have them visible. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingnorris Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Seems to me, this sim isn’t geared toward the simmer who files a flight plan and simulates being a RW pilot. More for low and slow flying, to admire the scenery. Kind of like ORBX products. Maybe it will be in the future, but not right now?

tiger1962 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I can confirm that the G1000 and G3000 autopilot works fine in all the GA aircraft I've flown so far.

Elvensmith Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Sorry but it doesn't Tim. at least not if you resume a flight. I found it would not pick up and track the GPS course and switching to HDG to track the waypoint sent the plane into the ground. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I've never had to resume a flight, so haven't experienced this. Do you save the flight plan before starting the flight? Two files are created on saving the plan: the .PLN and .FLT files. Once you start the flight, two more files are created: the .FSSAVE and .SPB files. I suspect the first two are the flight plan route and weather conditions, while the second two are the current positional and panel state conditions when pausing the flight. The active pause (Pause/Break key) is just a temporary pause of the sim movement, after a minute or so the plane's progress will continue even though it appears frozen. The ACTUAL pause is the Esc key which takes you back to the menu screen, with options to resume etc. along the bottom left of the screen. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

No I reloaded the flight after saving in mid-air. The autopilot is off (known other issue) but when I engaged it, with NAV mode and GPS selected on the CDI it would not track toward or pick up the course. I tried toggling several times to no avail. Adjusting the heading bug and selecting AP HDG caused the aircraft to crash into the ground. Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stinger2k2 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I have to say that i haven't had a problem with it so far. Both the G1000 and G3000 are working ok for me. Following the gps or heading, whichever i choose. Sorry you are having problems. Stinger Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitan Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Anyway, tomorrow there is a big 79 GIG update from MS The first of many to come, and things will be sorted and the fde WILL make use of nature forces simulated by Meteoblue (They are the guys) So lets ride on the best sim ever so far Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Just had the same thing happen resuming a flight from Sywell to Donegal. I think what's happening is that the CDI/GPS/AP is defaulting back towards the first waypoint in the plan. I can't see a way to change the active leg on the CDI. So I set the heading to point me in the general (correct) direction and eventually, for reason unknown, the correct leg then appeared! Unfortunately in the meantime, nearly stalling trying to climb out of some very exaggerated turbulence, my co-pilot took it upon himself to radio the closest airport that we were coming in to land! This has removed the GPS waypoint marker from the view ahead... Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Vern, I'd try to avoid having to pause the flight if I were you. Maybe try a shorter IFR flight? How about Bristol to Birmingham or Bristol to Exeter? It might be worth it just to build some experience. I've just done a Leeds-Bradford to Manchester IFR flight to test the Citation CJ4 ILS glideslope capture procedure. It has two NAV buttons and of course, I'd been pressing the wrong one...

Elvensmith Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Was going to try that Tim but now having more issues - cannot control the plane on the ground. Tried Logitech stick and Xbox pad but just pulls sharply off runway to the right. Tried configuration on both, same thing. Tested joystick in XP11 and FSX, working perfectly okay. Vern.

mokbubble Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I was having the same problems. Went on my favorite route...Southern California to Seattle, then to Anchorage, Alaska I did as a kid. Anyway I save it and when I load it the autopilot/GPS is all messed up, pause on the game is crazy, and I cant change the time (or weather) to reflect circumstances. Well I don't know if I can do anything about pause or time. After hours of messing around I found the GPS had reverted to a previous waypoint and most of the settings such as altitude needed to be reconfigured. It took forever to learn how to select the correct waypoint something like flight plan, then direct to on the right side, but it eventually worked. It may have wiped out my IFR and I dont think I could start a new IFR. So I'm frustrated I can't really save long flights, I think a better option is just flying as long as I can go, then using to the "fly to descent" option the next time I play. Hope they fix this. I love the game otherwise, it's a huge improvement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvensmith Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I am really starting to think MS need to pull this game as unfit for purpose and hand it back to the developers to actually finish! Vern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemill Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 In case no one has mentioned it - a youtuber called Bevo Devo has 2 really clear autopilot tutorials. They solved my issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobalt Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I disagree. MSFS 2020 is a pretty scenery game. As a flight simulator it falls flat on it's face. Appears to be geared for the arcade kiddie crowd. This is not a simulator. And yes I am a real world pilot. I have to say, this post of way off base on two counts. One, the scenery is not just "pretty" -- it is real-world for the entire planet, which is a revolutionary advance that is way beyond anything seen in any previous simulator. Two, you have apparently been nowhere near a game arcade in years (or decades), because MSFS is a highly detailed and often challenging simulator that bears no relationship whatsoever to arcade games. "Kiddie crowd"? Are you serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitan Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) More, the default planes are modelled better than most paywares in the other simulators. funny reading posts here of guys complaining the C152 wont start and they havent opened the fuel valve below their feet (because they have never been in a real one, too much Xplane perhaps) or Ctrl-E In Msfs2020 all make sense In the first week i heard guys complaining how to start cold and dark... Obviously if you start the plane in the runway its ready for take off. Want cold and dark? set it in the gate. In the other sims you select from the menu an option for cold and dark....what kind of realism is that? "an option from the menu??" The Airbus with the Mod tweak already has a start up procedure with Ecams working APU etc that is more realistic than expensive paywares on the other sims. The way the plane move slightly on air (by default) without addons, the nature forces that will slowly be used by developers in FDEs , everything is better in the new sim, and will get even more Edited August 30, 2020 by Kapitan Kapitan Anything I say is...not as serious as you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
