OBI with RMI, incorrect default for IFR

Hi,
I've noticed that in all the panels I've seen, the OBI is set to receive signals from the Nav1 feed, which is useless for IFR cross-cuts & fixing. It should be fed from Nav2. Presumably, this is an MSFS default.
Anyone know how I can set the default correctly, for FS2K4?

It finally dawned on me what was wrong here.

Good to hear you got that sorted out . . .
As a realworlld instrument rated pilot and aircraft owner, I've flown FS9, IFR since the day it came out -- July 30, 2003 -- and have not noted any such anomalies.

As a real world airline pilot, I noticed the anomaly on day one of flying FS2K4.
I eventually realized that the FS 'problem' I described above, was due to the incorrect naming of gauges in the panel.
The subtleties between OBIs/CDIs/RMIs/HSIs/OBSs/VORs etc etc, are often misunderstood (understandably) by panel designers.
When I realised the 'offending' OBI Nav1 gauges were named VOR1 etc, it was easy to correct.
However, a basic IFR panel may well have an OBI fed from Nav1 by default, of course.
