Recommended Posts

Hello to all forum members!!!!!!!

this is my first post over this forum so i would like to say - H E L L O to all forum members!!!!!!!:D (:doh:)

I spend alot of time trying to learn this frightening simulator and I wonder why the steerponit doesnt change automaticlliy when I pass by them

on the HSI and the HUD? it allways stays on the same waypoint(on the Abris I can see that its changing)

 

appreciate your help

Hiya Kazi,

The Abris and the PVI800 are unfortunately not linked, except in a few distinct ways, mostly pertaining to target points and via the datalink.

 

The PVI800 (INS navigation unit which drives the HSI) will automatically update to the next steerpoint if you are using "route" autopilot mode, but if you are flying manually, you would need to use the PVI800's keypad to progress the HSI to point at the next steerpoint.

 

It's best, and easiest to consider the Abris and PVI as two completely seperate (and therefore redundant) navigation aids, much like having a GPS unit in your car which has no way of moving the steering wheel! ... the two units do not really cross communicate (with a few exceptions).

 

:)

 

I definately recommend whatching the navigation Producers Note (I think producers note # 3 ?) if you haven't allready.

 

Good luck!
