Finally got the doppler to work without loading a flightplan. The 707 follows the first leg programmed to "A" perfectly. But the second leg programmed to "B" always calculates a wrong course on the map, e.g. when I tune in course 330 in "B", the plane will turn to HDG050...  :-?


That is because it would seem the Doppler calculates both legs with the same point of origin, i.e your position when you activate the doppler. I beleive that is also why people got the 'miles to go' reading resetting down to 0 if their miles settings for leg A was longer than leg B. When setting up leg B, the miles to go should be leg A + leg B.

A : 50Nm 180 and B : 50Nm 90 will not create a L shaped flightplan but a V shaped one.
