Yes, that’s correct. If you start on the runway it will engage ‘Radio Heading’, if you select it. It doesn’t seem to work all the time though, I had one flight circle midway through until I put it back to ‘HDG mode’.

We leave you with this nice cinematic video created by Practically Geek, showcasing our aircraft.
You are adding all this to the next update?
Wow, just wow, thank you so much for the hard work, this plane is going to be amazing.
When?
To be clear, I am not affiliated with AzurPoly in any way. I just posted the info that they posted to FB. I figured that people here that are not on FB would like to read it.
Thanks very much that is helpful advice
Your welcome. VOR is my preferred method of navigation. It isn’t the easiest or the best but it does help you understand planes and navigation.
We can still pretty much fly around the world using radio nav.
Long may it continue😉
My C-160 doesnt show any update still version 1.0 should i delete and redownload?
The update is not released yet, they said it will probably be online this week, marketplace is updated on thursdays so it will be updated this thursday or the next one.
I will be 100% buying this in June. I have just spent so much on Flightsims this month.
Such a shame that this is limited to Marketplace sale (at the moment).
I don’t think I am gonna wait until june! Looks amazing🤩
Yep I agree it’s very good and getting better.
I agree. Unfortunately I am experiencing some sort of glitch and I am unable to complete the marketplace purchase. Looking into the issue online leads to a deep rabbit hole of potential causes. Frustrated.
I was holding out buying this to see how this dev would support it given some really poor history from others. Wow that is quite an update planned, looks like I’ll out out some cash next week.
I just cant, I have bought the E-Jets for XP12 that’s $135, a good few airports for both sims, and took the wife away for a 3 day spa I must learn self control lol
I can buy it no problem, but I will never top my savings if I keep going like this. Its always, ok just one more add-on. I need addon’s anonymous
As soon as she is available elsewhere than on the marketstore, she will be mine.
Hello guys, I’m quite new to the Forum so I hope I am right here.
I love to fly the C-160 and I wanted to use it with my Honeycomb Alpha. So I tried configuring the Battery Switches (Red) on the Yoke to turn on Battery 1 and 2, in Sim there are the rotary switches in the overhead panel. But the problem is: As soon as I hit the switches on the yoke it seems like battery 1 is coming to live, but the rotary switch won’t turn at all. And it kinda isn’t using Bat 1 because there is a difference in the Amperes when comparing manual activation with mouse and the switch on the yoke.
And I know the C-160 doesn’t use the default settings because in the tooltip it even says “Source”.
I hope I made myself clear ,and that I am right here.
Hello and welcome. I haven’t made a complete setup for the Transall for myself yet, but generally speaking most third party planes use more controls and switches than MSFS can map natively. In many cases in order to set up all controls you need a third party control setup program like Axis and Ohs, Spad, Mobiflight, FCSUIP etc.
