ILS Approach Reverse

[thedazman]

How do I get he Auto Pilot Approach Reverse working. Plane always heads towards the NAV signal, cant get AP to fly 180 degrees away.

If you are using the profile you last sent me, then the REV Button is bound to 0000:07FC which is "AP GS Hold" , so the plane will hold the Glide ....

You could bind it to 0000:0804 (AP BackCourse Hold), maybe that's what you want...

Hope this helps,

Thanks that seems to work. I can't get the to and From flag working on my HSI gauge it's always showing to even when heading from grrrrrr

First element always displayed never the 2nd, which to me says the value isn't changing, just don't know why. Both go out in the dead zone in the middle.

Have you tried to use the HSI instead? There are some reports on the net that the NAV will not work correctly when a LOC is active.

Or try the SPAD.neXt Gauge Debugger ;-D

Anyway ... offtopic Too early to open a Gauge-Help-Forum

I know I was being cheeky pushing my luck with this, but it was related the the approach reversal. Because I couldn't engage the reverse navigation I couldn't test my off topic code

Will have another play tonight . I lifted this code from a publicly available gauge so will load that gauge to see if it actually works also, but thanks for he advise on the offset for both SPAD rev and FIP

I would if a certain developer let me have all the latest toys.
