Also, the macro for taking off the hud and its little cover are shift+5 for the outer casing and shift+6 for the actual green, it might be other way around but it doesn't matter.

Happy flying! and welcome to the md-88!

there should be a switch on the panel to go from nav to gps, once you switch that to gps then all you have to do is click the nav button on the autopilot and it should fallow the map (GPS) it self
