Flight plan not sequencing

[JCMK]

Upon takeoff the flight plan does not start sequencing to the first waypoint. I have to manually select a waypoint and then do a direct to in order for the flight plan to start sequencing and for NAV mode to work properly. Any ideas? I've run out.

JCMK, thanks for the workaround.  I have acquired the same problem in the last few flights, and had no idea how to solve it. Your suggestion worked in the my current flight.  I also see on the flight mode annunciator (top of the PFD) that there is an entry called "RWY NAV." I can't find that in the inibuilds A350 manual.

Same problem here - despite the NAV annunciation after take off, the a350 does not follow the flight plan. Direct to has to be enabled to a waypoint to enable the following of the plan.
