EFIS 3-D navigation guides
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2011 2:47 pm
Hello to all:
Newbe, so please bear with me.
Recently purchased an old copy of FS2002 and am working on my landings. It appears that on my Cessna 172P plane I have the option to place hoops, etc. onto my screen as was done in "Learning To Fly-Landing" lesson #4.
I checked onto "Maps View" in the menu, then onto Navigation >EFIS. Then enabled the EFIS Master Switch to have the 3-D navigation guides displayed in the sky.
Then I clicked: Type>Hoops, Range>Long, Density>Thin. I then checked "Engage">plot intercepting pattern.
I next went to: "Lock to ILS/LOC for landing approach and found that I can't do it. There is a faint circle with a dot in it for-"Lock to VOR and altitude tracking. Is that faint dot a default or was possibly used in setup by the previous owner.
Any detailed instructions would be most appreciated.
I know this is an old program, but that's why I bought it as my first try at FS. Thanks again to all.
