it was following radials for me but the light definitely didn’t work. not sure what’s going on.
edit: i don’t know what llz means. it definitely doesn’t follow a glideslope. that’s a very manual process
I’ve not tested in any depth at all but I suspect this is the only form of navigation. Suits me perfectly 
So what should be working (TACAN) isn’t and what shouldn’t be working (VOR) is…
Quite an unexpected turn of events.
Hopefully those will be fixed in an update: TACAN will be added and VOR removed 
Yeah, suits me too. But a bit unknown if Autopilot follows radials, or just AP-HDG is operativ…(?)
Anyone made/found a simbrief profile? Or another solution? (Just full fuel and full cargo)?
I didn’t know this Steve thanks for the heads up. If it’s modelled then yes we need it in the aircraft👍

I think I’m going to need a hearing test after startup on this aircraft with the windows open.

Tacan channels are basically encoded VOR frequencies.
A Tacan is basically a portable VORDME. It does have differences but they are subtle and not of importance when used with a civil NAV receiver. You can fly using TACANs with every VOR receiver, all you need is a Tacan channel /NAV frequency conversion table.

I’ve had a look and getting mixed results. I’m not sure but it might be bugged. On the AP there is a radio button but it doesn’t respond as I would expect in respect to course on the VOR. Also VOR1 when on course the line doesn’t centralise and flicks to the left and right on the display. I can work around that by using VOR2 which is the double needle and that works fine.
Before I determine if it is a bug or user error I’ll dig into the manual and make sure I’m not doing something stupid.
Edit: So yes the feature is there but I’m struggling to get it working as expected. I would expect it to intercept the radial and follow the course but maybe that’s my presumption and is wrong.

Ok in the manual it states that radio mode is not simulated yet and will come later.
I guess that explains it then👍

I flew the C-160 all day (Friday, 5-6-23) Usually when I get a new plane & after the check list start-up, I like to let the AI Pilot and AI ATC control the first flight which gives me time to see what is going on. That worked ok except when I turned them on, the AI Pilot locked the brakes on the ramp. Same - Same holding short of the active when I released the plant to AI after ATC gave approval to take-off.
It’s not the FS9 Cpt Sim C-130, but it is very close and has the potential to be a great addition to the sim world.
Just one question so far: How does one change from VOR to GPS so I can do a RNAV approach.

It does I agree.
As for the RNAV to my knowledge it doesn’t, VOR, NBD and TACAN only but it im not 100% on that.
I have encountered issues with the navigation. The VOR nav is doing strange things for me and when I fly the course the needle is moving far left and far right when it should be aligned. I have had it working so might be a bug and I’ll try and repeat to check.
Impressions so far are very good👍

Does the cargo weight affects the takeoff and landing performance?

Good question I’m not entirely sure. The flight dynamics are good. It feels heavy and trims very nicely.
Ok I think I have found the issue with the VOR nav. You have to click the direct to button on the course dial. Then select your radial and it works. If you haven’t clicked direct prior to selecting your radial it won’t work correctly.
No idea if this is a feature of the real plane but it does work. Just tested 3 times in the fog and got up and down no problem.

A bit surprised AzurPoly don’t come in here and gives some clearifications/support.
No forum on their page. No discord.
Found a FB page though.
But guess they want to promote and sell the product, so some interest in the community’s questions would be nice…

- Somehow I closed the Electronic Flight Board (EFB) ie Tablet. Pushing the EFB button on the front panel does nothing. Ideas? Yes, I did RTFB

Is there a way to refund the plane?
Sorry but many features promised on the marketplace store page and on the website are still missing and labled not implemented just by a statement on facebook!
This is a shame and absolutely not right!!!
You cant promise custom FMS and autopilot etc just for the customer to find out that is not present at all. Either you have to manually search the manual for missing features or look on facebook prior to buying and this is not correct!!
I feel like a paying beta tester and not treated correctly here!
