HDG select turns on when pressing TOGA

Hello,

During my last few flights, HDG SEL roll mode becomes active upon pushing the TOGA button (X-plane default button).

I'm pretty certain i didn't touch the HDG SEL button on the MCP prior to taking off.

There's nothing really wrong with that, but I thought this feature only worked on the NG's. Is this the correct AFDS behaviour during takeoff when using TOGA?

Regards,

Kyrre Andersen

Hello,

This is aircraft specific. Quoting from the manual:

Quote

The F/D takeoff mode is engaged by pressing the TO/GA switch on either thrust
lever. The FMAs display FD as the A/P status, TO/GA as the pitch mode, HDG
SEL as the roll mode for airplanes with HDG SEL, and blank as the roll mode for
airplanes with wings level.

Where I fly, our aircraft come from a variety of sources, therefore they display many differences in wiring and equipment, and indeed this variance is one of the many we experience on a daily basis.

Most of them are as modelled by IXEG and as you describe - going into HDG SEL rather than a blank roll channel..
