Following a GPS Nav plan

Oskar3058

If you are wanting to use the standard gps then you can get Wefly gps. Its like the normal gps but has autopilot controls along the bottom. Its not free but don’t think it’s much. I think simmarket has it. I have used it and it’s ok. I do like using INS though, worth learning and doesn’t take too long to set up.

I've submitted a Support Ticket on the subject. I appreciate that GPS wasn't available or used in those days but I like to use it. I'm also slowly getting to grips with the INS navigation system.

Thanks del47 for entering the support ticket. My original point was not about history or using INS (which I am very well versed in, real or sim) but the fact that the manual offered a facility which I could not get to work. I will await the reply to the support ticket (another update!!). jjdc

Yes, it keeps us all occupied in un-installing and installing. I quiet like watching it develop!

I may be wrong but I don't think that the NAV function (switch)is working at all?

I see that on the navigators panel there are some switches referring to GPS, etc. Maybe a 'work in progress'?

On the recommendation of JF I've uninstalled the old version of the sim and installed the new. As long as I set the VC10 A/P to LOCVOR the aircraft now follows the GPS flightplan. I'll experiment further but so far I'm really pleased.

Hi folks

I am getting the same issue experienced.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the add-on several times and have selected a key assignment for Nav1/GPS toggle with no luck. Even selecting LOC/VOR as has been mentioned in this thread but still no joy. It is frustrating as I have no issues with other add-ons when using GPS or the FMS. Its a nicer model and I don't want top rely on VOR to VOR navigation and I tend to be impatient with trying to enter the lat/longs in the INS which is why the GPS helps a lot.

Help please?!:folded_hands_light_skin_tone: :folded_hands_light_skin_tone: :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

Well, its been a while(!) since I was on here and using this add-on. I had to get my PC rebuilt due to a separate issue. So a fresh install of this add-on and sadly it is still not working when selecting 'NAV' to follow the flight plan built in the P3D V4 sim's GPS. I have followed the manual, tried intercepting on the heading but nothing works still.

I do feel cheated that something this simple cannot work and wasted my money, which I can't get back.

Any chance someone can help before I uninstall it

What has Jusrt Flight Support said? They should be best placed to give you an answer.

@derek I haven't done so yet. Was hoping I may find help on here before doing so.
