Hi there,
Please download the latest version for VFR, which is v1.3. This was a major update and adds a ton of new features such as on screen objectives and in game markers, which will aid you in navigating the course.
This update is now available in all stores and you will find this much more to your liking, as the default IFR Navigation and Bush Flying official tutorials were also developed by FS Academy.
VFR was released to a great response, so I hope the new features point you in the right direction and reveal where you were going off course
