SUBS17:
Terrain following mode (TFR)
Cynide:
I have an interesting development to discuss... I also had the problem with the nav and ILS frequencies not working
in the hornet cockpit. dial them in, in this case 111.30 for the KNEW localizer...and nothing.
So, after setting NAV 1 in the hornetI went ahead and changed the plane in mid-flight to another bird, the C-172,
because I knew from experience that whatever avionics you set in one plane, would follow to whatever plane you load in next. I knew how to work the 172 localizer, so i could do a base comparison...
my NAV1 read 111.29!!!
I did this a few times, and the same result every time...the scratchpad would show 111.30, but it was actually doing 111.29, and thus no needles, no VOR, nothing...
Interestly enough, the comms, IFF , bcn, etc.work perfectly!
If I go to the 172 and set in 111.30, and then switch to the hornet, I have needles!
Could someone give me an idea what they think might be going on here?
Yxin, try this and see what happens for you..

I still don't uderstand how to activate a/p. do you select ap mode THEN click on/off, or visa versa. Because mine doe not want to cooperate.

And one more thing, on the ACL page, what does "NOT CMD A/S 0" or "NOT CMD ALT 17388" and finally "NOT CMD V/S (+/-) 1800" mean? airspeed, alt,vertical speed? how so you change those?

This was explained in the first post:
--- Quote ---there's no "preselection" of modes: when an A/P mode is selected, it will immediately engage and it will also turn on the A/P, if not already engaged
