FC2 a10 not following waypoints

[dnme]

Hi folks,

 

I have been trying to learn the new a-10c but it was such a steep learning curve that I went and bought FC2. Installed it tonight and then sat down and read the manual.

 

I am trying to start simple, so all I wish to do is a little nav practice in the a10a. I create a mission, set up a few way points starting with a takeoff from runway. then a number of turning points (I have also tried flyover points) at specified altitudes, speeds etc and loop around until I create a final landing point back on the runway I started from.

 

I save the mission and fly it, no matter what I do, the a10 seems to fly some random flight plan. I tried it with flyover points and it seems a little more accurate except for the final point (runway), it did not turn onto it, it turned away.

 

Can I say at this point, that I find the manual to be very inadequate here. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's frustrating having invested so much time (and cash).

 

BTW: I am using Nav mode [1], and LALT - 6 which according to the key commands manual for the a10 is 'Course Follow'.

 

Many thanks for any help
