FMGS 319 question
Hello
I am in intital training for the Airbus 319.
I have been using an add on for Flight simulator 2004.( airbus vol 1 series from feelthere) .
I am aware that the software is limited.
I am trying to create a segment and intercept it while on a heading assigned by ATC while in flight.
I have the segment defined in the Flight plan page and am heading towards the segment with about a 80 degree intercept angle. The course between the 2 points is defined but with a dashed green line.
On the PFD the "TO" waypoint section (upper right corner) is dashed. (no TO waypoint)
The FMA says heading and when I try to engage the NAV mode (by pushing the heading knob) the NAV mode appears on teh FMA but immedialtely disappears.
I am thinking that its because I have no TO waypoint selected but if I "CLR" all the waypoints until the next waypoint I want to reach on top of the flight plan, my segment disappears as well and I end up going direct to the waypoint.
thank you
