reported Selecting AUTO on HSI sets active waypoint to WP0

[Hippo]

I take off with WP1 selected, and turn on CPL A/P.  AUTO is not selected.  If I select AUTO the WP is changed to WP0.  Is this the expected behaviour?  Shouldn't it stay on WP1 (which is what was happening in the previous version of the open beta)?

 

See track for details.  I turn AUTO on and off several times and it appears to be ok, but it eventually happens (I think when I am far enough from WP0?).

Hi,

 

this is correct, selecting auto should select the first waypoint in the sequence, if you have already started your route you need to manually adjust for the correct waypoint. 

 

thanks

Hey Bignewy! According to the NATOPS that should be different: "When auto sequential steering is coupled CPL SEQ #( ) (current sequence number: 1, 2, or 3 replaces the parenthesis) is displayed on the HUD and HSI display and a CPLD advisory appears on the DDI. The aircraft steers to intercept the desired course of the current WYPT/OAP in the sequence.", page VII-24-47 (I can send you a screenie if you like)

WITHOUT CPL selected, it should indeed jump to first WP in the sequence.
