C182 - Autopilot doesn't follow GPS

Post by Leonardo Rubino »

Hi guys!

I just bought the C182 and installed the latest update (10_12_17).
But when I test the airplane I realized that the autopilot does not follow the GPS.
I selected GPS over NAV.
I think it's strange, because I have C172 (FSX) and PA28 (P3Dv4.2) and I've never had this problem.

My system:
Windows 7 Professional
P3D v4.2

Thanks,
Rubino.

Hi Lewis!

Thanks for reply.

I'm using GNS400.

But I did more testing today and realized that when I switch from the default mode to the KI-525A, the autopilot works normally with GPS.
Is that the way it works?

Thanks.
Rubino.

Hi Rubino,

If you're using the default heading indicator in the 182, you'll need to make sure that the heading bug is set to your desired course in order for it to track a GPS course properly. The reason for this is discussed here: http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtop ... 08&t=59840.

Thanks,
Nick
