  1. fly this morning fly only with default B737-800. I create a IFR flight path from JFK to Bradley Int and add a few waypoints as it is short flight before taking my wife out for Mother's Day. After take-off I activate the GPS to follow the flight path but almost immediately ATC instructed me to change course. Is that normal or did I do something wrong. Surely when GPS is activated the flight must follow the flight path.

     

    Strangely enough the GPS did also not follow the flight path. I deactivate GPS and activate it again but the B737 did turn towards the flight path. Only when GPS and VOR LOC is activated then it looks as if the flight path is followed. When I landed in Bradley the GPS reading was 107 miles from airport.

  2. I am building a MCP using Arduino Mega, but have difficulty with the momentary button switches, don't know what pin to solder to life or ground the same with the legs of the build in LED. The button switches I use have has a LED built in (see attached pictures). There is a lot of switches and I think I can ground them all in series. No sure if this the right technical word.

     

    I know that the LED long leg is positive and the sorter one in the negative. I further think, not sure, that the LED has nothing to do with button action as you program it in MobiFlight.
