Hi,

Maybe I'm being stupid here, but where do I set a course on the FSX
default B747?

I see the HDG/NAV but no CRS.


Thanks and regards,
A.

In the display where it's shown, you can hover the mouse over it and click
to the left / right to decrease / increase.

Hi,

Sure, I do know how to select a course, but I can't see the course
selector. The HDG selector is there, but no CRS.

Has it been missed off the panel?

Regards,
A.

Are you talking about instructing the auto pilot to follow the course set
into the NAV instruments? If so, isn't that what the 'NAV' button is for?

There's a toggle that switches between NAV and GPS, and then a button
labelled 'NAV' that will enable following the one you've selected if memory
serves

Hi Bill,

Thanks, I've now found it.

The strange thing was that it wasn't there too start with, I had to exit
FSX and restart. No wonder I could see it before.

When I first asked the question, I was in the middle of a flight and had
to wait till I finished.

Regards,
Ashley

"... No wonder I could see it before"

I meant "couldn't" of course (no pun intended!). Sometimes I just can't
type.

I must say that the default B747 cockpit is a bit of a disappointment
compared to the others. The default B737 is a big improvement compared
to FS04.

I read it (couldn't) that way so no worries :-)

The CRS is the only part of the 'glass' cockpit that is clickable.
Hover your mouse over the course that is set and then either rotate the
wheel on your mouse or left-click to the right and left of the course to
change the setting.
