Hi all.....coming recently from FS98 I find the "new" GPS a little different in FS9  ::) One thing I would like to ask is that in FS98 I could chose to automatically circle when I arrived at a selected point simply by clicking in the GPS display.............this was so handy if I had to leave the flightdeck for any length of time...as one does ;D   How is it done in FS9 please....that is if it can be done...thanks in advance....commoner.

What I do is switch the NAV/GPS switch back to NAV. I tune in the nearest VOR and circle that until I get back. Then I go back to Navigating via GPS

Thanks Skittles....so there is no little "pressy, switchy  button thingy" to make it all simple ??? Pity that!

I haven't gone too deep into the use of the GPS, but I don't believe there is such a thing.
