I guess its the same thing with the Caravan?

[CharlieFox00]

I concur with this report. It affects career mode as well. Some strange things going on with GS in relation to wind and TAS as well, will file a separate bug for that later.

[GenBrienYQB]

Matt posted that on their discord

‘‘Yes, this is an issue with the aircraft electrical setup, and not the avionics, we recommend to report it on the forums (same for the caravan)’’

[NotCross]

I am having this problem as well. In fact, I had the same issue during the Tech Alpha and reported it on the forum.

[DrHadron4701]

I can also confirm this issue. It is present in several models, including but not limited to the C172 Skyhawk, DA62, and Cessna Grand Caravan.

@k3nstr1092 i think you are correct, i just tried the da40 now and on that aircraft it was working correctly after it finished aligning, even the heading track worked.
