	Great news! The 737-200 v1.0 can follow a GPS Flight Plan. I just found this out by accident, and then read the csx737_manual2.pdf (page 54)!!! See attached image. I'm flying it right now using Direct To plan. Next I'll try a full GPS plan! Mark

	yes, they added that on 0.6 or 0.7... I'll never use it anyway ! Prefer to fly this bird like the real should be.

	By the way, the flag name of that switch on FSX is right now : Marker Beacon Sensitivity switch instead off GPS/NAV switch.

There wasn't anything about in in the csx737_manual2.pdf (dated 24 March 2012), only in the latest one. I did press a lot of buttons to see what would happen (functionality). If I did not see anything happen, I returned it to it's previous position and that would be why I didn't find it earlier. I am enjoying flying the "old way", but I know that there are others who want to use GPS flight plans. Now they will know that they can do it.

	Yes, absolutely, in addition, I find the location of this interuptor well placed. Hidded and not really hidden too! Well, I see that the FD mode VOR LOCK does not work, well, not until the 1.1 I hope

	Ok I got it if you craete a FP, in Vor loc autopilot it works. But if you use external tool like �Vasfmc or INS there are no sign. I also use Saitek multipanel and the HDG rotary dosen't work at all any hint? The rest works fine.

	No luck with the Civa at any switch setting? Makes me wonder, because if the plane can follow the default GPS, it should work with the CIVA.

	Nope this time is not the same as usual, is based on Vor TRK before it was HDG . I mean you can follow the internal Flight plan but you can't Track active HDG. What INS is doing is to change the HDG to follow the route, so if you have active HDG there is no problem, even VasFMC do the same. But here we can't do much as long as we do some sort of machinery setup in FSUIPC but is so annoying. Why this method if it doesn't want to add Sperry 177 or CDU at list it should give as the ability to use external addon like ISG or what ever. This is something that has to be request and really hope to change soon. The hardware doesn't work with this situation I can't change HDG at all.

	That's great news, Mark--- thanks! I'm assuming you can add the actual GPS gauge as on the 707 and 727!? Bruce
