Basically I don't like to fly Glass Cockpit ... to me it takes the fun out of flying ... I'd much rather use the HSI, VOR and VOR2 with the standard radio stack. However, I've encountered a problem that I simply can't figure out. When I set out upon a flight and am programming NAV1/VOR1 the guide arrow always points to the radial ... instead of the bearing of the VOR. In other words I'm forced to ride a radiall instead of riding a bearing ... which I prefer.
I am proceeding from 3G5, heading to the EKN VOR (114.20) and landing at WV00. If I payed attention to the instruments, however, if I did this I'd end up in Afghanistan. Can any one lend some logic to this?

Thank you guys and girls for paying attention to this post.

Sorry I can't figure out how to upload images ... I'd very much like to receive some instruction with that too. I used the Upload/insert image into post but that did not work.

Thanks again.

I am not a 100% sure of what you are asking. But if you are flying direct to a VOR, you must fly on a radial. The head of the yellow arrow is the heading to fly when you are on a radial. The tail of the arrow is the radial. So with your pic, you are wanting to intercept radial 280, which would gie you a heading of 100. So you fly 060, until the yellow needle is in the center of the head and the tail. Then you turn right heading 100. You will then fly direct to the beacon.
Let me know if this answers your question.
