Title: Importing/Following A Flightplan
Post by Colvale on Jan 13^th, 2016 at 7:33pm

Back to flying this iconic aircraft after being away from it for at least 4 years.

Is there a way to import an MSFS flightplan and then have the aircraft follow that flightplan?

Yes! Your FSX flightplan is already imported. Just engage the autopilot and select "NAV". It will fly the plan! ;)

Thanks for the reply. Reading it 3 days later after I'd remembered what to do after a long, long absence from flying it. The AP/NAV bit.

Managed to import FSC9-created FPs via MSFS, etc, follow the track, etc. Only snag I seem to be hitting is when lining-up for a final, and reducing throttle, all of a sudden, she just loses thrust and just plummets down. Weird.

Happen this if the AP is on and in NAV-Mode?
