I installed a dual G3X Touch in my plane recently and finally got around to entering a flight plan and letting the autopilot fly the route in Nav & Alt Hold modes. This is the first time I have seen the Pathway boxes appear on the PFD. It was about a 30 kt crosswind at 3500' and I was surprised to see that the Pathway Boxes were significantly skewed to the left side of the display, with the velocity vector going through them and the HSI centered.
I was expecting that I would see the boxes in the center of the display since I was on course albeit with a significant crab angle. If the wind had been higher, I wouldn't have seen the Pathways at all. Seems strange if I were IFR. Is there a setting which changes this or comments about the use of or experience with Pathways?
Thanks,
Don
