Huh, I get the choice of Vectors, MOVER, ISIFU, and SHOEY. Picking

sure you selected something OTHER than vectors (and you did remember
to EXEC it!)

Aha! I spent some more time with the 480 simulator and seemed to have
figured it out. I see now when you load the approach, the "Vectors"
(top right) field can be changed at that point to (in this case) MOVER,
ISIFU, and SHOEY. Just as you said! I thought that the VTF mode was
selected after the approach was loaded. I didn't realize you can
change that before it's loaded. Thanks for the clues, Ron!

Now, a follow on question has surfaced. My flight plan in the 480 was
merely KRHV to KSNS with no other waypoints. This was actually my
clearance (radar vectors, direct). Now, in the sim, when I properly
load the approach with MOVER as a starting point, I get a
discontinuity. The flight plan, in it's XPND form, is KRHV,
discontinuity, (MOVER), and then the GPS13 approach commencing with
EWTOF. So, as a solution, I can select the discontinuity and clear it.
Then, EXEC the flight plan and things magically work and I am headed
Direct MOVER. Select Direct EWTOF and I am in business. It seems a
little ugly to me, though. Is there a more elegant solution?
Especially bearing in mind that I am briefly headed Direct MOVER even
though that's not my clearance.

Thanks for the help!
