Fly off track on cruise with LNAV

[AngelOfAttack]

Something likely to happen every now and then on different aircraft add-ons I have, but still I think it might be worth to report. as I'm the one who like to be AFK while cruising...

Huh, that is the first time I see that reported... this used to be a problem on the default GPS units in X-Plane until Philipp fixed this recently, if the leg distance was over 60NM or so, the plane would veer offtrack in direct-to mode.

But haven´t seen this (or heard about it) in relation to our 737.

You do have a vast assortment of potentially conflicting plugins in your installation and unless I get more reports about this happening on our 737 I would have to ask you to run the IXEG in a "vanilla X-Plane installation" to rule out interference, just to test this.

If you have a "surefire" way to trigger this misbehavior (like a route that ALWAYS does that at a certain point), please let me know and I will verify it on my end.

I don't think I'd have time to do that, I'll continual my normal hobby flying with all the plugins I need. If I see it again I'll report, but I'm not going to try to catch it.

Right - getting to the core of these bugs is super time-intensive...but maybe if you fly the same routing again and the plane looses the track over IKEKA again, let me know.
