click on FLIGHTS, click on FLIGHT PLANNER... type in destination airport, (as well as starting airport) the planner knows the coordinates and will program the gps. with gps on NAV and autopilot engaged the aircraft will follow the blue/green line on the gps to the destination.

Every aircraft should have a NAV/GPS switch on the panel somewhere. It's pretty small because it only has 2 settings. Just don't forget to turn it back to NAV before you make your approach.

Okay i have worked out how to use the Autopilot.
How ever when i use the autopilot on the Lear jet the jet isnt level and is on a slope when flying.

Is it an up or down slope? You should expect an up slope as you climb to cruise altitude.

Make sure your gear is up and flaps retracted.

Set altitude to cruise - 30,000 ft
Set airspeed to cruise - 300 KIA (make sure airspeed is KNOTS INDICATED AIRSPEED, not KNOTS ACTUAL AIRSPEED, somewhere in the setup menu).

Give it 100 miles or so to get to cruise altitude.

You will have a slight (3 degrees or so, but not noticeable) up slope.

If all else fails reinstall the aircraft from the CD.
