• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Factoring for delay in turn LNAV

Hello folks! I am trying to get a turn anticipation distance worked out in order for the LNAV to hit the next segment right in line.

I have utilised the radius calculations etc, however given the speed and turn angle I either overshoot or understood the turn. I believe the problem stems from the fact that the aircraft takes anywhere between 8 to 12 seconds to fully establish in the bank given the speed and this causes a reduction in the overall bank angle factored by the end of the turn.

Would there be a formula or conditional statement that I could use in order to account for this delay or a better implementation to get LNAV to make all turns precisely?

Thank you all in advance.
