Maybe I just haven't worked out how to do it. If I use "Direct To" then adjust course to pick up the extended centre line, then on final approach the HSI switches to ILS mode. So far so good. But if I use the Track Radial function to intercept the centre line I cannot then get it to change to ILS mode. Using "Direct To" doesn't seem cancel the Track Radial function.

You must first cancel Track Radial by tapping on the Position Report block just below the Instrument Panel. The HSI should then work as expected.

Thanks Mike, just had a chance to try it out and it works.
