Hi marcusmmc.

I get that same issue on my most of flights from YMML to YSSY for my approaches. I honestly can't remember NOT having a "vectors" waypoint in any approach so far!

So...When I have a plan that requires "vectors" before the approach, such as in the one above, I manually dial in a heading towards the next waypoint AFTER I have gone a reasonable distance beyond that next waypoint because quite often they have been 180^o turns! Another way is to select the next waypoint (Left LSK2) on the LEGS page and then click on the Left LSK 1 to place that waypoint as the next one to go to. You will need to press the LNAV button again on the Autopilot, the VNAV button too, if I remember correctly, so that it will turn towards the new next waypoint you just changed.

From my understanding, and I could be wrong, "Vectors" means that the ATC will guide you to intercept a path to your next waypoint. We all know that the default FSX ATC is lacking a lot. That is why I mostly fly VFR!

Hope this helps.

vectors as markos said, is ATC vectoring,


i cant belive any still uses default microsoft when there are online networks such as IVAO.. honestly your flight simulation experience will never be the same again when u have tasted online flying..


USA is notorious for having STARs that end up not that close to the arrival aerodrome, the americans love vectoring, but in the UK for example u can program a STAR and TRANS that gets u bang on the loc
