You can either use your nav radios navigate follow airways to or from nav aids, or your GPS to navigate to various types of waypoints

Ok, that's what I'm doing atm more or less...

That sounds like the way I want it, but on what exactly do I adjust the Nav(1?) to: VOR? And what has the AP to be set on? APP too? I guess not...  

And flying by GPS... Hey, I don't want to graduate in "Garmin-Science"  

Ok, thanks. I'll try out (sounds comprehensible to me)!

Additional instructions always welcome....

Do you accidentally have the html of those (freeware?-)jpg-charts?

Thanks a lot! 

Let me try to illustrate your azimuth situation. (I see now that the VOR 1 is DXB, not DKB, I assume you're flying in Dubai?)

You're flying along at HDG 101, to your 10 o clock is the VOR, 14NM from you.
Now you are asking the aircraft to track course (radial) 340, which means that the intercept radial (160 outbound) is a couple of miles ahead. So the AP wont initiate the roll until the CDI starts to move (usually no later than ½ dot from center)
Your intercept angle might be little too steep aswell, so expect an overshoot in the beginning.



On your screenshot VOR/LOC should not be in green, but in white because it is ARMED but no ACTIVE.

Did you continue the flight and maintaining that heading after your screenshot?
Also, why is your CDI not indicating a course of 340?,

Yes, if you want to fly directly to the VOR, setting the COURSE windown to ~060 degrees would cause (or at least SHOULD cause ) the aircraft to bank slightly left and fly directly to the VOR

Keep an eye on the RMI, (thin needle arrow always points to the contra radial, the tail indicates which radial you are currently flying on). In your case the RMI shows you're currently on radial 240, the reciprocal radial is 060, which is the one you will want to track in order to fly directly to the VOR DXB.
