Title: ... Autopilot, NAV 1/2 Switch?? + Graphics Bug...
Post by Sayuuk on Oct 11^th, 2010 at 7:22pm

Hi guys,

I want to try the VOR to VOR navigation, the way this plane is supposed to be used...

How do I switch the autopilot/HSI from Nav 1 to Nav 2??!!

Or am I supposed to always dial the next VOR in on Nav 1?
Then why do I have a Nav 2, that doesn't even give a relative bearing...

2nd:
Not a CS727 problem (or not only):

All my Artificial Horizons (on all of my planes, except for the ones with tape horizons of course) are OVAL

They all look like somebody punched them on the head...

Can anybody tell me why??... :)

Cheers,

Stefan

2nd question

Seems like you are in a widescreen resolution and the gauges are 4:3.

Try a 4:3 resolution on your monitor and check if they're ok.

@2nd question:

actually, I got to know that this is just the way the artificial horizon looks on some planes.

There are plenty of pictures of real planes on Google Image Search that show this.

I have never seen this in real life, though. And even my flight instructor was a bit surprised... =P

Thx anyway,

Stefan
