You'd think Airbus would allow the LOC button to do this, but its for LOC only approachs.
OK. And what about usage of VOR and course in MCDU ?
Help: Whenever I pushback, I tip backwards and pushback stops?
That is just to setup the VOR indicator on the ND, so that you can track the VOR manually with heading. However do note that RNAV (GNSS) approaches are favored over an VOR approach in the A320. (It will fly the VOR approach like an RNAV anyways).

I downloaded latest A32x. Started FG, used A/C config with Ready to T/O option, all systems started normaly. Then I entered depart runway, SID, destination airport, approach and STAR, then activated flightplan. Speed to 165, altitude 15000 feets. After that flaps to full, then released parking brake, full throttle and successfully takeoff. Moved throttle to SPEED position, activated A/P, switched heading to the managed mode, but A/P doesn't follow flightplan. What I forgetting ? Where is error ? Previous version followed flightplan without any problems.
For me, it follows the line perfectly.
Glad it's working well now.
PS: Aghhhh! Don't use V/S! Use OP CLB/OP DES! (PULL Altitude Knob). Don't understand why FG pilots use V/S so excessively. It's almost never used for climbs, rarely for descent.
In the real world V/S is used quite a lot to maintain a continious descend (if not on managed). This way the aircraft does not have to level off the whole time, and this makes the ride more comfortable.
Indeed. It's not unusual to have "maintain x rate of descent/climb" or "maintain best rate of descent/climb" issued by ATC and then managed/op modes flies out the window.
I meant, in FG here, where there is no ATC telling you to do this.
Also, even in VATSIM, I have never been told such an instruction.
As You can see, there is rated climb rate 290 ft / NM, I used V/S autopilot mode.

First time I've seen something like that, not usually this stuff where I fly.
