Felonious_Monk Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Hello, I'm using a cold start procedure I found on Youtube. I'm able to get the heli started up and up in the air... but I want to use the Route Mode but the Waypoint button won't light up. If I press 1 it shows the numbers but I'm pretty sure that Waypt button has to light up in order for the heli to follow the path. When I did it just now by just pressing 1 and then starting up the Route Mode the heli collective stopped responding and I just went down to the ground losing lift. Please help! Thanks in advance.
Yurgon Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 but I want to use the Route Mode but the Waypoint button won't light up. For starters, you could try a mission where you start ready for take-off and check if the problem is the same there. Off the top of my head, in order to navigate to a waypoint with the PVI-800 you first have to click the Waypoint mode button and then use the PVI-800 keypad to select the desired waypoint. The procedure is basically identical if you wanted to select a reference point, an airfield or a target point -- select the correct button on the left of the PVI-800 and then use the keypad to select the waypoint/target point etcetera. The chapter "PVI-800 Navigation Control Panel" in the manual describes these buttons and procedures in detail. If that doesn't help, you should post a track (preferably a short one that quickly illustrates this problem and not much else :)) 1
Felonious_Monk Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 I figured it out. I just needed to turn the nav to Operation mode. 1
