The issue that needs fixing here is two-fold: - Data (especially distance for some reason) is hot-spotted both by the OSG pick method and the PLIB 2.5d panel hack, this causes it to be very sensitive for me. - Distance only goes in increments of 1 mile/10 miles. Should probably be 0.1 mile/10 miles. If you really want a distance of "0" just use the VOR/PAR function instead of the RNAV function. As far as waypoints 2&3, they are indeed set to waypoints in my favorite scenery. Waypoint 2 is the north end of runway 14 at KHIF, waypoint 3 is some radio towers on the other side of the VORTAC (http://www.airnav.com/cgi-bin/navaid-info?id=OGD&type=VORTAC&name=OGDEN) I would really like the waypoints to be persistant across sessions, but haven't looked into making that happen yet. I'm pondering a simple tutorial for RNAV that will go something like this: Start at KSFO, default runway. Set Waypoint 1 to OAKr076/37.2 OAKLAND VORTAC 116.80 Set Waypoint 2 to ECAr252/21.5 MANTECA VORTAC 116.00 Enable RNAV waypoint 1 Set RNAV/ENR Set your HSI to 70 degrees. Take off, intercept radial and fly to waypoint 1 on the 70 radial Change to waypoint 2 Set HSI to 300 degrees and follow that to waypoint 2 About 5 miles out change to RNAV/APR. Time your decent to be at 500 feet at 1 mile and you should make a landing at C83 (Byron Airport) runway 30. http://www.airnav.com/airport/ksfo http://www.airnav.com/airport/c83 Ron ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
