Lenair 9 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi I have a strange issue. If on ground or after TO i push the HDG knob (and the AP obviously too) the Airbus won't follow the NAV it stays on HDG mode and the route remains in a dashed line. V1.16 Wind 7 FSX Acc.

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 12, 2013 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well, on ground it will of course not follow the NAV. I strongly recommend to read the manuals and follow the step-by-step guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenair 9 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 yes, I know. but if you push the HDG know you it should follow the flightplan. Got this issue only since V1.15 and now with 1.16 too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenair 9 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 If I push the knob, the "dot" behind the hdg appears for less then a second and the disappears... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1246 353 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 was the HDG knob pushed for TO, or you started with preselect HDG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenair 9 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 In the preflight brifing i realized that it wouldn't work. so i was forced to takeoff in the hdg mode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick1246 353 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 and you pulled the HDG knob? for a TO with preselect HDG, you should only turn the knob. Don't pull it on ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenair 9 Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 yes, i know if i wanna fly in hdg mode i should only turn it an then the ap will to the rest... but when on ground, and you make a instrumental departure, you shouldn't see any heading numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbojetfan 8 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 yes, i know if i wanna fly in hdg mode i should only turn it an then the ap will to the rest... but when on ground, and you make a instrumental departure, you shouldn't see any heading numbers I just encountered this same issue although I didn't engage anything on the ground. After a turn-around in Seattle, I programmed the SUMMA7.SUMMA departure, took off and at about 1500' ASL engaged the autopilot. It went to NAV for a split second then went back into HDG mode. I tried using the DIR TO via the FMS but the same thing happened. I've been repeatedly trying to press the NAV button at various points on the route but it's not responding.

Lenair 9 Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 yes! that's the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcboyinva 8 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi All- I also am having a similar issue...and it appears only after I have used LOC approach. Visual does not return the same error after the turn-around. Has anyone been able to fix the NAV not engaging situation? I am sure I might be missing some fix...but couldn't find it in my usual searches. Thank you guys in advance for any help. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenair 9 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 What I forgot to mention is, that I used the Navigraph AIRAC. Now I switched to Aerosoft NavData. So far no problems like before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenair 9 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi After a few flights with the Aerosoft Nav Data the problem occours to on some airports. I don't really know why. What I noticed until now listed as follow: - only after a turnaround - @ following airports: LHBP, LYPR (BKPR), LPPR maybe it's an SID thing... what I've noticed too is that when on the FMGS you restore- delete- copy or whatelse you do with the route, sometimes you get an "PPOS" and after that everything turns to normal..

NJ_Flyer 1 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Having the same issue right now. Flying on HDG mode as NAV kicks out when selected. Seems to occur on the second sector... maybe something in the FMGS isn't resetting during a turnaround? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airbus339 129 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I do conferm the issue after turn-around. It happened to me only once in EHAM and only in that airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephic 4 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 In my case same issue without turnaround. I Took off pressed heading and instead of Lnav it gives me heading with a dot next to it. Only fix I found is direct to next waypoint but it also sometimes doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaap K. 43 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I notice that on the ND the waypoint EGG (?) is active, but in the FMS the waypoint NIRAL is highlighted. Is that due to the different times you made the screenshots at, or is there indeed a discrepancy between the ND an de FMS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwakadilly 10 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Give this a try after you land.. Go to the right FMS, Click ACFT STATE, Load TURN AROUND. After you do that you can setup the flight and it should work fine, just don't forget to disconnect the GPU and remove the wheel chocks. The aircraft has a glitch where it doesn't see the new route and thinks it has hit a discontinuity so it puts the aircraft back into HDG because it doesn't know where to go next (that is how it seems). I hope they fix it soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
