CapnDave Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 I started a flight out of KFLG this morning. At the start of the flight the aircraft was centered in the MFD map view. However moving the aircraft had no effect on the centering. It remained on the starting spot. After takeoff this situation remained. I have the map's orientation set to aircraft heading, and it was rotating as turns were made. But it didn't take long to fly off the screen. I haven't changed anything from previous flights. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your help. Log file is attached. Log.txt Quote
Marius_B Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 If you have a flight plan active, it will be centered on the active point. If you want it to be centered on the plane, click the FPL button and the Flight Plan window will go away and the map will center on the airplane Quote
CapnDave Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Posted June 16, 2020 I did not have the flight plan open, nor proc, nor anything else. I haven't seen this behavior with this or any other aircraft before. Quote
Marius_B Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 This is weird.... I had my number of 'issues' with the plane, but this one did not occur.... Can you post a screenshot of the MFD, so we can try to figure out what is happening? No Direct To or airport selected as destination? Quote
CapnDave Posted June 16, 2020 Author Report Posted June 16, 2020 So I restarted X-Plane and that seems to have done the trick. Ah, the wonders of modern technology! Quote
Marius_B Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 You are absolutely right! Great that it worked! Restarting is the best solution, since the invention of MS-DOS.... If not working, first try a restart! Quote
CaptainHamburguer Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 Did you try pressing the range knob? That's used to switch between center on aircraft and free look Quote
