PIC 737 Nav Source - Problem Solved Thanks

[expire]

We are having trouble getting our FSX Pilot in Command 737 to land at Newquay (UK). This has raised a navigation question that someone might be able to answer:

 

It seems the "base case" in the 737 is to navigate using the FMC - which is a reasonable proposition; but other aircraft we have flown allow you to fly "Nav 1" which usually entails selecting a VOR, checking the frequency is tuned on the Nav1 radio and flying along a radial.

 

Can this "Nav 1 procedure", if you will, be performed on the 737 or is the FMC the only available navigation source? How do you stop the FMC from navigating the aircraft and allowing my choice of VOR lateral navigation.

 

(We got ourselves in such a muddle with the FMC that we wanted to go back to basics and realised that we couldn't).

 

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Mike,

 

Does this include all the variants of the 737 PIC EVO? Does the FS2Crew add-on remedy the problem at all>
