second picture show what autopilot i use.

Do you have the HDG and SPD in managed mode ( *---) and the flightplan set up correctly? If not, press the buttons till *--- appears! In your screenshots I can see, that there is no display of the entered HDG and SPD values (normally in pink shown in the Navigation display), just the altitude. And normally it shouldn't be a "dotted" line, it should be one clear line without any dotts, between it. This is another indication that the autopilot isn't in managed mode! 

 

By the way: Maybe it would help to set the QNH to standard at the transition altitude (normally 10.000 ft)...

When the HDG isn't managed by the Autopilot, the aircraft flyes to the heading you entered via the FMC. Please reply if this helped you and if not please try on any other route. How long do you fly the Airbus X for now?

Please fly the step by step tutorial that is covered in the manual first. This will give you some valuable insights into flying the Airbus. This is not an hop in and fly around add on, it requires study to master it. 

 

If you have any questions after flying and understanding the step by step flight feel free to post here again. 

 

Ps Lotus3xiG3, it is kind of you to try and help somebody but after reading your posts I am not so sure you flew and understood the tutorial flight. Throwing some terms around like "managed", "FMC" and "10.000",and doing so incorrectly, doesn't make it easier for someone to learn the Airbus.

I fly the AirbusX just 1 week

OK, then it would be good to fly at least the tutorial from Innsbruck to Nice to learn the basics. You find the documents in your Airbus X data or in the Internet. It's very confusing the first time, because the Airbus X is very realistic in terms of the whole system ; ). But you'll see: It all makes sense...

Here are some nice vids:

I hope that helps you!

No need to apologize for being new on the Airbus. Fly the step by step and watch the videos for some more insight. Mastering the Airbus will take some time but it is worth it. 

 

Happy landings!
