Did you align the IRS? It actually follows your route perfectly. Just did another test flight from EGLL to EDDV and I cant complain. There was one issue when the AP was overspeeding but I managed to get it sorted. Did an Autoland at the end with all the calculated speeds of the FMC. VNAV did not exceed its limits and LNAV , well I overflew every Waypoint and finished in EDDV what else can I say?!

I hope you also noticed the timeframe it takes to align the IRS...when you set the IRS to align there will be a countdown. Today it was 10 minutes for me until I could start to roll or move in any way. Its not very obvious to see thats why I tell you. I dont know anything else that could cause you trouble.
Good luck

Hey all, I was messing around this afternoon in my CS 757, and I was coming into land at ORD. I was on the BDF5 STAR with the BAYLI transition. I had previously (earlier in the flight) selected 4R as my arrival runway as I thought that was what it would be given the winds. Of course, FS' stupid weather thought it'd be more fun to land with the wind. So I tried to change my arrival runway to 27L (after I had contacted the tower), and shoot the ILS 27L approach. I was well into the STAR by the time I could actually contact the tower to finally determine my arrival runway. When I tried to change it, it wanted me to backtrack and start the STAR all over again. Is there anyway to change or edit my route so that I don't have to backtrack (WITHOUT getting a route discontinuity)?

This was really frustrating after a 2.5 hour flight.

Any help/insight to the process is much appreciated.

PS: What is the MCP (in the manuals)?

Cheers,
Cameron

Hey Bob!

Good idea, I'll try that.

One thing though, would this help me out so close in? Can I just switch them at close range (i.e. once I find out what runways are being used)?

Thanks again!

Cameron

Hey Bob,

I wouldn't hate that at all. It adds to the realism!

Usually, actually, I do. However, I suppose I'm still a little worried that I'm going to have to make a guess as to which runway I'm landing on when I'm at that final waypoint, simply because I'm going to be too far out to contact the tower. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to test it out for a couple weeks, and that's really the only way to figure out for sure. I suppose if I contact the ATIS a good ways out, I should have enough time...

Thanks Bob, I appreciate it!

Edit: I suppose what I'm really asking is how to make sure I have an easily interchangeable plan in my FMS. I more or less understand how a STAR works, I'm just not sure how (if at all) to change the ILS runway once I've begun the STAR. Do you know if this can even be done?

Thanks again, and I'll get back to you when I have a chance to test it out.

yep! happened with me apparently it went away when i disabled  User Account Control (UAC) that comes with windows defender.
alternatively just try to make CaptainSim folder and subfolders writable instead of readonly. IMO due to this the winglet models were not showing up as well because ACE tries to rewrite aircraft.cfg file but if UAC is active it keeps the Airplanes folder readonly and would not allow any changes.

Hope this helps
