    That green circle is the Flight Path Marker. I think it shows where the plane is really tracking with wind and climb/descent included. You won't see that after you deleted the NXI. Is the AP acting as you would expect now without the NXI?

    You don’t HAVE to set it to GPS, but if you set it to VOR then you have to do the things I said in my response at the same time as Tiger’s. VOR navigation can be kind of fun, you should give it a try.
  3. Cavulife
    First off, are you using the NXI add on? There have been some reports of problems with that. I don’t recall if simply setting up VOR to VOR in the Welcome Screen planner will also set the frequencies for the VOR for you. If not, you’ll have to enter that yourself and verify that it is being received. Depending on terrain you may have to climb higher to receive the frequency. You will also have to set the radial TO the VOR you want to fly to. It may default to 360 unless you’ve entered something different. This would cause the AP to try to intercept the 360 radial even if you wanted to fly say 270.

    It looks like you're doing things correctly. I haven't used any addons so I'm not sure about how to uninstall the NXI, but if it shows in Content Manager then you should be able to do it there. If not then it probably shows up in the Community folder. I would try the flight again after the NXI uninstall. If that works then you can try installing the NXI again if you want. I stayed away from the NXI because they actually called it a beta. Some will argue that the whole sim is beta, but when the designer calls out something as beta that's a little different for me.

    Pat, It looks like it's an issue with the NXI. There is a thread over on flightsimulator.com about this issue, though it primarily talks about the NXI messing up the GNS planes. You might try uninstalling the NXI.
  6. Cavulife
    I’m not using the NXI version, but are you sure that you pushed the NAV button? It shouldn’t say ROL if you did.

    I see 2 options for you: 1. Choose the Cessna Caravan. (The easy choice). 2. Since it’s only a sim, you can lie about how much you and your passenger weigh. :) This would allow you to choose the 172. The problem with this choice is that the manual I have for the 172 says it’s only got 40 gallons of usable gas. I’d only try this if you’re heading eastbound with a nice tailwind. I’d hate to see you have a simulated crash a little short of your 500 mile destination. :D

    I think the updates appear at the same time on Steam. What usually happens is, on boot up there is a small auto update by Steam. When you launch MSFS then it checks for updates and loads the bigger update that people talk about. After that I usually go into the Content Manager in the sim and look for anything else that needs to be updated. There is no logging in/out of MS Store or XBox. Steam has been problem free for me regarding updates.

    Several months ago I tried to suggest that Steam users appeared to have fewer problems than MS Store users, but nobody seemed to agree. As a Steam user, I’m glad I chose Steam…

    How would it follow anything without the AutoPilot activated?
  11. Cavulife
    It appears they left it out. I've got joystick bindings for rudder and elevator trim and the rudder trim does nothing in flight.

    After today's update I've got a problem with the AP capturing altitude in the Bonanza. It just busts right through and keeps going. I've set the Altitude, V/S to get there, and engaged the autopilot. It has always been fine before and I'm not using any mods. To verify, I checked the following which all use the same AP and this function works fine: Baron, C172G, Cirrus SR22, Diamond DA40NG. Anybody else notice this problem?

    When you click on the username button there is a dropdown for STATUS, it's not the online status. The options if you click on STATUS are Online, Offline, Busy, Away. That STATUS is to hide from your "Friends" by clicking AWAY.:)

    Have you guys tried signing out and signing back in?
  15. Cavulife
    Glad you figured it out. If you’re going to use Auto Rudder then I don’t think you gain anything by also assigning the rudder to the yoke axis for ailerons. If you have buttons available for separate brakes then that will help with turning radius. There might already be a keyboard default for this rather than tying up buttons on the yoke.
  16. Cavulife
    I don't have that Yoke, but the Rudder Axis on my Thrustmaster T.16000 is set to the twist of the stick. If the rudder axis isn't set to anything then I'd think you can't steer on the ground. Try to set it.

    Sorry, look under Options/General Options/Data. The first item there is Online Functionality. Make sure that is ON.
  18. Cavulife
    It was working for me a few hours ago and I’m West Coast like you. Make sure you check the Data tab to see that the Online functions are ON. They may have been turned off.
  19. Cavulife
    So many questions. So few answers. Sorry.
  20. Cavulife
    The last update added a Time To Climb waypoint that keeps you on the runway heading for a couple of miles.
  21. Cavulife
    Tim, isn’t that button to switch between the “Standby and Active” frequencies on your selected receiver rather than NAV1 and NAV2? This is what makes it so hard to answer questions here. It’s sometimes unclear what is being asked and what the person understands about avionics. Let me also include that I’m no expert.
  22. Cavulife
    OK great. In order to “switch between the 2 NAVs” you press the CDI button. It cycles through GPS, VOR1, VOR2.
  23. Cavulife
    Mav, I'm only using the stock G1000 so maybe it's different. Are you confusing the NAV "knob" with the AP NAV "button"? The knob on the left of the PFD is pushed to switch between the NAV receivers for entering the frequency for each.
  24. Cavulife
    Since you had to do a complete reinstall, I’d suggest checking the settings for the following: - Keyboard/Mouse/Joystick assignments for rudder and brakes - Assistance Options: Turn them off - Flap setting when you get in the plane. Sometimes its on 1 notch and sometimes it’s not.
  25. Cavulife
    I’m using the default G1000. Maybe that’s the difference. I thought about trying the Marketplace G1000NXi, but there is enough about this sim that seems like beta already…:rolleyes:
