You can use the GPS. You can add a GPS driven HSI to your favorite aircraft 2D
panel, like this:
<instrument include="../../Instruments/hsi-bk-hi.xml">
<name>GPS driven HSI</name>
<params>
<gs-needle>/instrumentation/gps/wp/alt-deviation-ft</gs-needle>
<vor-needle>/instrumentation/gps/wp/wp[1]/course-error-nm</vor-needle>
<radial-selected-deg>/instrumentation/gps/wp/wp[1]/desired-course-deg</radial-selected-deg>
<to-flag>/instrumentation/gps/wp/wp[1]/to-flag</to-flag>
<vor-in-range>/instrumentation/gps/serviceable</vor-in-range>
<has-gs>/instrumentation/gps/serviceable</has-gs>
<heading-deg>/instrumentation/gps/indicated-track-true-deg</heading-deg>
<autopilot-heading-deg>/instrumentation/gps/tracking-bug</autopilot-heading-deg>
</params>
<x>264</x>
<y>-25</y>
<w>115</w>
<h>115</h>
</instrument>
The CDI is bound to to waypoint2 (wp[1]), the to-waypoint. You can set it in
the GPS Settings dialog from the Equipment menu. Note that the compass rose
shows true tracking.
