gps/autopilot

[omarza]

Ok this is just in short and I might have missed something as I dont fly GPS lately... I either use FMC or on older aircraft VOR/ADF etc... but here
goes...

If its one of the standard aircraft in FS... Keep in mind there are other ways as well... im not using right terms as well to try and keep it simple...

1) Set up flightplan in FS before going into flight
2) Start flight... flightplan should be automatically loaded into GPS by FS
3) Climb to cruising altitiude
4) Check on the dash... there should be a switch that can flip between NAV and GPS... usually the default is NAV... select GPS
5) Switch on the Autopilot
6) Press ALT for altitude hold (Make sure your cruising altitude is entered in the altitude box on the panel... its the one that usually displays 10000)
7) Press NAV for automatic navigation... and since you selected GPS on the other switch (step 4) the Autopilot will use the GPS for navigation.
8) Sit back and relax

Note that you can of course even climb using autopilot etc but I thought to just mention the basics above for the basic aircraft in FS.
