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

Bruce

Hi Bruce.

You will be happy to that it comes with the GPS already there for your use. SHIFT+6 and the GPS pops up onto the screen.
Select Direct To Waypoint on the GPS, or create an FS Flight Planner plan and it will follow it.

Also, if you have Reality XP, just replace the default FSX GPS gauge with the 430. Works well.

I tried diffrent things but the AP is not able to follow the CIVA INS... if someone finds a solution  tell me Wink

I was trying too, but I couldn't get the CIVA to drive the AP.  Sad Here's a screenshot of the mod. http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1335036741/22#22

All external autopilot like civa Vasfmc ISG drive the autopilot in HDG mode.
CS has used another variable for heading, not the one of FSX,  so it will not work as usual.
Even with hardware like Saitek multipanel heading doesn't work.
I think this is something urgently to change IMHO

As stated somewhere else, maybe there's room for a mode switch like in the 707, to allow for the external stuff to work.

Does anyone know if ISG1 will work, was thinking of buying it so I can simulate 'modern' 737-200 operations.

See simbiosi's post above. As long as the hdg mode stays custom, the chances are slim for the addon gauges to grab the bug.

Hello,

I have a question about the gps navigation. I want to fly the 737-200 with the gps flight plan (loaded into fsx). What should I do step-by-step? I've tried to click almost everything in the flight deck associated with the navigation and I still don't know how can I fly this aircraft with automatic navigation (via autopilot). Like vasfmc. I would like to fly this beautiful jet in the vatsim, but I can't do it without navigation...  Sad Please help me.

Has anyone tried bolting this freeware Delco CIVA  on to the aircraft to see if it works.

http://www.simufly.com/ins/ it's the same nav system that the FSLabs Concorde uses.

Bruce and lukas:

Yes, we have tried adding CIVA INS. It's now confirmed that it will not work on this aircraft. Please take a look at:

http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1335036741/25#25

BTW, in a user-poll, CIVA INS lost out to the more realistic CWS control on this aircraft (since there is currently no way for a switchable mode).

http://www.captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1335210228/15#15

The plane can fly by GPS Navigation off a loaded FSX FPLN. Please look/search for "L16" in manual2, which is the NAV/GPS switch, and coupled with VORLOC setting (of the AP Mode Selector) will enable FPLN tracking.
