Uh-oh, sorry!
Thank you.
I just thought that if from a regular VOR the NAV mode works, then from the “virtual” VOR from KNS-80 should also ... it's basically the same thing ! -
In the Duke the RNAV will drive the autopilot but only if no GPS is selected on the panel, a workaround discovered during the Duke's development. BlackSquare does plan to implement this functionality at least in the Baron and Bonanza and hopefully the King Air and Caravan as well. I am really hoping for a King Air panel with the CTL radio heads flanking the center radar and below that the KNS81 and KLN90B replacing the KNS80. I'd even ante up a C note to help make that happen!
