Entering Flight plans

[stickandrudderman]

Indeed it is, on page 32.
However, despite following carefully the instructions on that page, I get "FLIGHT PLAN NOT AVAILABLE". Any suggestions?
I have SW S8.6.8-MV15 aug 18 2011.
Whilst I'm on the subject, as and when I get this working will I be able to enter user defined waypoints?

What type of GPS do you have it connected to?

Are you getting the flight plans from the GPS on the EFIS?

If you do a -D-> from the map menu and press yes for internal navigation you should see a flight plan.

I don't have an external GPS, I'm using AFS. Only the puck is external.
-D- button does work by popping up a screen on which I can enter an a/f code.

Once you enter the airport code is should show it in the flight plan and then let you select the airport runways.

[stickandrudderman]

I understand that Rob, but my problem relates to flight plans, not going "Direct to", or are you saying that the only flight plan function is the "Direct to" one?

[Rob Hickman]

Once you enter a Direct To you have a flight plan and can then add more points.

or you can do this:

press [FLT PLAN]
press [SRCSEL] until the FLIGHT PLAN TITLE changes to FLIGHT PLAN FOR INTFP
[EDIT]
[INSERT]
Enter WP ID
[SAVE]
repeat

We are curently working on making the flight plan entery a lot more user friendly and should have an update in a few weeks for the AF-4500.

Thanks, I'll try that.
