Forget #2. I found it in the manual.

7. The flight director always directs to wherever the heading bug is, even if I'm in Nav mode and tuned to a VOR or ILS.



The Flight Director is bugged and has been since release. It works for localizers and ILS, but it does not work for VOR. You can tell by the Amber/Green/Off lights just above and to the right of the PFD. If it is green, it means it is locked and working, Amber means it is ready.

There is a side for the FD and a side for the AP (since they are separate systems.) The AP side always works. The VOR light goes from Amber to Green when it is locked and working. The Flight Director side however never goes Green and therefore never locks on to the VOR.

It makes hand flying more involved as you gotta fly the instruments instead of the FD. I just wish they would fix it.
