I recently did a flight from Manchester to Charles de gaulle airport with the 737 - 800 using the co pilot, i don't use it all the time just occasionally, It followed the flight plan perfectly & started the descent to 5000 ft ok but instead of turning left onto the approach path it just continued on a straight track could it be the co pilot has a bug somewhere, i have done a few flights with co pilot & never had this happen before. TIA.
Aircraft not following flight plan

Do you know the exact route that you used?
Can you please show us a screenshot of the flight in the recent flights menu? Go to the flights menu, then Recent and take a screenshot of the flight path.

Hi Jan, Actually the flight was from Leeds/ Bradford not manchester my mistake, The blue line is where i took over the flight manually to get back on course & then went back to co pilot but the aircraft went off Track again so i abandoned the flight.I put the destination in but it's not showing up.
