Hi Jim. Like ftwd, my question is this:
Are you referring to the Autopilot in VOR/LOC tracking a radial (with the NAV/GPS Switch set to NAV)?
Or the Flight Director set to VOR/LOC and working correctly?

If it's the former, then that works perfectly for me too. I have no problems at all when tracking the VOR radial with the A/P.

However, if it's the latter you are referring to, then you seems to have it working correctly, while Cassen_ and I do not.

I found that turning the FD Switch to VOR, it tracks the heading/heading bug, and not the VOR radial.

You are right, Markoz.  I was not referring to the flight director.  I have not been using the flight director with the 737.

As an update, there are times when it works perfectly and other times when it does not. I can not recreate the conditions to make it work or not. It appears to be totally random. I have opened up a support ticket or two and still have got no response.

I like to do old radio based flights so a working FD is a must for me. I never use the GPS or its autopilot mode. Only VORs, radials, and NDBs for me Wink
