Christopher1492 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I am new to MS Flight Simulator 2020. I have about 37 hours in Cessna 152s and 172s (Glass instrument Panel). However, I had untold hours in the early 90s on earlier versions. The operation areas were limited but I liked the 4 little Nav maps that actually told you VOR and DME frequencies. I have solved THAT problem by buying paper FAA Sectional Charts. Yes, I know about add on programs. I still have navigation issues however. I will admit that the graphics and (as far as I can tell) flight physics are 5 star, But I am having major problems with the VOR CDI system on Garmin instrument panels. Everything worked great on the 152’s Analog CDIs. (Except that there was no DME.) I have no problem setting the VOR frequency, But the CDI never displays on the glass. I know I have the frequency set right because I have figured out how to get a DME display for NAV1. The CDI does seem to work automatically if you do a flight plan in the program. (I do mine on paper, and I am NOT going to change.) Using the flight planning system to automatically set a VOR freq. seems to work only for departure. You can not plan multiple legs with several VORs. QUESTION: How do I make the glass screen display a CDI of a VOR frequency I have entered. ? Also, side note. I have seen several questions online dealing with the program not displaying a weather map. I have the two expansions and I think the Cessna 208 (?) does display the weather map on the right Garmin panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsproles Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 QUESTION: How do I make the glass screen display a CDI of a VOR frequency I have entered. ? There is a button marked CDI at the base of the screen. Press it and it will cycle through GPS, VOR1 etc. Windows 11, GeForce GTX 1660ti; 3.60 gigahertz AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core; Kingston SA2000M81000G SSD; 16 gb RAM; CH yoke; Saitek pedals; Three monitors; TrackIR 3.

Christopher1492 Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thank you. I have most of my operational questions figured out. ... navigation on the glass instrument panels and how to fly with pitch adjustable prop.... however the program now crashes after 1.5 +/- hours in a flight.
