I’m just looking for a better explanation of the waypoints in the sim. How are they used, etc.? Some show in the sim map but I haven’t figured out how to interact with them on the map. They also don’t appear to be on the flight planner.
I’m using LittleNavMap also, there I can get the heading and distance to the waypoint, which is nice. Is there a way to get the sim to do that in the Cessna 152?
Sorry, if it’s too basic a question, I got frustrated with the VFR navigation lesson in the sim and haven’t made it past that one yet.
I’ve found using youtube videos and self experimenting works better instead of the in sim lessons.
The five letter waypoints are GPS waypoints. You can only use those if your plane has GPS equipment, which the 152 doesn’t.
Also there’s never too basic a question.
And yea, the in sim lessons suck haha
I suppose you do get there in the end, but not in the straight line you requested. So it’s not a bad idea to zoom the GPS or VFR map out until you can see the entire leg on it.
