There are two techniques that can be used, so that the STI acts as an ADF. You can
place a single waypoint in the Route Waypoint list, or turn sequencing off while the
active waypoint is the first waypoint in your route. With an active connection from
your GPS (or with the GPS simulator), the STI will use your current position,
continually updating, and point with the bearing pointer in the direction of the
waypoint. This technique differs from a direct-to procedure as the direct to instantly
draws a route line from where it was set.
How can I view different languages for the Airway Manual?
The Airway Manual only supports English.
In the Bottlang Airfield Manual, I am trying to view some topics in the
Germany section, but there are none available. How do I display the topics?
Verify the language mode is set for All, German, or English by pressing the
appropriate language icon on the toolbar. See the
for more
information.
The same holds true if you are trying to view topics in the France or United Kingdom
category. Ensure the appropriate language is selected.
GPS Troubleshooting
My USB GPS doesn’t work when I try to set it up in the FliteDeck Setup
program.
You must first install the software that came with the GPS, and the GPS must be
plugged into your computer.
Your GPS must be outside to get a usable signal.
I don't know what "port" or "baud rate" my GPS uses. Help!
You can use the GPS testing buttons in the FliteDeck Setup program to automatically
find characteristics of your GPS, like communication port, baud rate (data
transmission speed), and even the type of output the GPS uses. See
more information.
My GPS is connected to a serial port, but I am still unable to get a
connection to it.
There are some programs that use serial ports and block the connection even if you
are not actively using the program. You will need to free the COM port before using it
to connect a GPS. For instance, if you use Microsoft ActiveSync for a PocketPC,
ensure the connection is cleared within its application. In Microsoft ActiveSync v3.x:
1. Open Microsoft ActiveSync.
