Airbus Pilots Question...

Hi there...

Just wondering if someone could help me.

Downloaded an Airbus 318 on Flight Sim, panel is really realistic and looks almost 100% identical. Design made by Aerodesigns.

Well, my question is the following. On the default FS9 planes, once the flight plan has been set, during the flight, you can set the Autopilot and press the NAV button instead of the HDG button, and this will actually make the plane follow the flightplan. On the Airbus, I cannot see the NAV button. The Autopilot is quite different, in order to activate the Heading, Speed or Altitude, you must press on the button which actually sets the value desired, and a white dot appears next to the AP Altitude, HDG or speed, when it is activated. There is no NAV button, and was just wondering if there is such a function on Airbus that allows you to follow your flight plan, meaning that you don't have to set a different heading after each waypoint on the flightplan.
Many thanks for your help on this one ! Much appreciated.

Regards
