The older versions of X-plane used to have a "GPS" or "LNAV" button available in Plane Maker. If you engaged it after you selected the GPS navigation mode and put in a course in your GPS, the plane would follow the GPS course from then on if you pushed the Lnav or GPS button. But there are no lateral nav button available in Plane Maker any more!! How are you supposed to get a plane to follow a GPS or Flight Computer??

LOC

The LOC button stands for "Localizer" and is not for general lateral navigation. Especially GPS, not in real airplanes anyway.

Oh sorry. I thought Austin subbed LOC for LNAV quite a while ago.

Maybe he did, but he shouldn't have. Just a shortcut for him. In any case I'll try it and if it works, I'm going to mod to LOC button in microsoft paint to make it say "LNAV". Why?? Because I can. Thanks for trying to help a stubborn old ######.

Did you ever even consider the possibility that not all autopilots have buttons that are labeled exactly the same? Guess what - they aren't...

Feel free to use whatever custom bitmaps you like, but that doesn't mean the defaults are incorrect for all types. It's a generic system, like pretty much everything else in the sim.
