Programming and following routes in the updated C160 Transall in Microsoft Flight Simulator

As you may have seen, the C160 Transall recently received a major update - adding all sorts of capabilities around cargo drops, and flares. Alongside that - and the subject of this video - it now has the capability of programming basic flights into the FMS, and using the autopilot to follow the route.

I spent quite some time looking to see if anybody else had figured it out yet - and found nothing - and then ran into the brick wall of the keypad on the FMS, which is undocumented. After something of an "aha" moment, everything fell into place :)

I will be returning again when I have more time to figure out the rest of it's capabilities, and to understand how to manipulate the data shown on the navigation displays.

Here's the updated procedure - https://ko-fi.com/s/1f0b4c9e4c
