Thanks, You made my day :-)

„Active pause“ ??

Forget my reply - just noticed you asked for TRACKHAT

You must install the newest software and after setup download the newest games update (upper left corner in the Trackir configuration window). So „Microsoft Flightsimulator 2020“ must be found in the list. And also important: You must load the software before you run MSFS.

I had the same oppinion when I noticed all the G1000 cockpits. The C172 has classic analogues but unfortunately no DME instrument - so for me it is unusable. I assume there is a deal / sponsorship between Microsoft and some aircraft manufacturers - thats why there are so many modern light Diamonds and others affordable by aviation enthusiasts. And the modern airplanes all have these glass displays - so we have to wait on addon developers to provide us with old fashioned cockpits.

Thanks for all the replies - I practiced some more flight this afternoon and it went well - maybe I just dialed the wrong frequency when it did not work. Also the DME mode Nav1 or Nav2 is now available since I found the button / menue for that function. MSFS is really fascinating - my eyes are exhausted by all the looking around.

Yes, I choose CDI VOR1. Maybe the reason is that I did not choose IFR but a VFR VOR TO VOR plan and did not configure a approach procedure in the G1000? I will try that now.

Hi, everybody, I would highly appreciate some support as a long time simmer but never using the G1000. I made some flights in the C172. I made a flightplan and the AP followed it by swiching to NAV Mode. But I had some trouble when I approached the destination airport. I did not succeed in switchin to LOC mode. In common GPS devices there is a button „OBS“ which switches from LOC to GPS and vice versa. I cannot find a Button where I can choose whether to follow GPS or LOC. So the ILS does not work. The ICAO Code is shown, when I tune the frequency, but there is nor Glide path and no DME distance visible. As to the DME: I found a way to show DME on the PFD but only DME1 - is there no option to show DME 2? The distance was not shown allthough I tuned a VOR. Maybe it is a conequence of not switching to LOC Mode. Thanks in advance.

I am keeping my FSX for IFR (I am owning a JetMax HomeCockpit) - so MSFS will not replace the present simulator.

It depends on what addons and sceneries are used. My experiences with W10 are not so good, so I returned to W7 again. But If you guys are fine with Windows 10 - then forget my advice and enjoy.

Why did you swap to W10? W10 is no good for FSX Box. FSXSE works fine in W10 but FSX Box is better to be used on W7.
