I doubt that's the reason. The plane is swinging constantly, and pretty fast -  the period of these oscillations is about 15sec (that means it makes a full swing up and down every 15 sec)  :/

After two weeks of testing after purchase of CS757 I find there is an issue with the VNAV function. I have previously used PMDG747, LD767 and another company 737PIC who all have the same type of FMC and they never have any kind of this issue.

Many times the LEG page show wrong speed/altitude. At cruise the ALT is correct but the speed is wrong. Example from yesterday, FMC show 255/FL340 for all waypoints after reaching cruise altitude. My speed was really .776/FL340. VNAV page show correct speed .776. No decent calculation, only RW30 at KMIA show 170/20. Last point 8nm from RW show 255/FL340!!!. Then I have to do some calculation myself and bring the plane down with FL CH and lower speed restrictions as I decent. Sometimes also last point (arrival RW) shows cruise speed/alt. LNAV works fine though.

I read all the time here "read the tutorial". I have done that and I have hundreds of hours using FMC in PMDG747/LD767/Wilco737PIC and NEVER had any kind of problem with VNAV. Even changing STAR and landing RW according to wind never cause any problem for the FMCs calculation of speed/alt during approach.

There are no issue with the AIRAC from navigraph as all of my add-on aircrafts use the same, now using 1101. Every time I get a new AIRAC all add-ons are upgraded. Only the CS757 give me wrong calculations. The FMCs of the other aircrafts work fine with 1101.

Hope this issue will be corrected with the ver4.5 upgrade.

To get the FMC to calculate a T/D you have to play around a bit with the last waypoints before the runway. Delete the waypoints, get rid of the discos, execute, and add the deleted waypoints back into the the flightplan, get rid of the discos, and execute and maybe you will have a T/D. I say maybe because you might have to do it all again using a different combination of waypoints. But you have ample time because all this can only be done once you are airborne. A gem of an FMC

Yes, really a gem of an FMC  Wink

Everything else works fine with this add-on aircraft. And most of the times i also prefer to do the decent and approach manually without VNAV and just use VNAV calculations as a reference. With CS757s FMC I even have make the reference myself. Anyway there is without doubt a bug hidden in this FMC.

With the 757 and 767 FMC both being the same and both having this problem, a couple of members came up with a very simple solution to get the TOD and the Transition altitudes to display correctly. The "how to" can be found HERE. If you follow those simple instructions exactly, the FMC does it's job. Once you learn this, it is no longer a big problem.

Hope this helps.

It is another jury rigged solution to a CS FMC 757/767 problem that should not exist. There are so many work arounds in the 757 it is absurd. I don't even know if I would install a 4.5 version if it is even released. I have spent fifteen months learning, adjusting and flidling with the 757 to get it to fly correctly. I don't know if the 4.5 version would be any better. Remember the 12/09 767 update that had the ACE file in the DEMO mode. What a joke!

SPeaking of that problem, I have that version. Can you point me to where it was addressed?

Thanks.

Everytime at final established ILS after capture of localizer and glideslope the aircraft can't hold G/S and lose altitude. I get warnings with "don't sink". This is during the last 2 nm before touchdown. It always catch up with G/S at the last moment. But the deviation from G/S is quit remarkable and it can result in touchdown very close to start of runway and sometimes it compensates with thrust very late and make touchdown far beyond the the ordinary touchdown area.

When this happen I am reducing speed towards appropriate landing speed according to the FMC.

Another thing I have wondered about is that of all the add-ons I use, 737PIC, LD767, PMDG747 and Maddog the CS757 have very low landing speeds according to the FMC. I find that a little odd. I would suspect that MD82 and B737 was supposed to have the lowest landing speeds in general. Maybe the calculations by the FMC is wrong in some way. I may be wrong but thats my guess. Example today with flaps 30 FMC said landing speed 127. I had ZFW 171000 lbs and about 3 tons of fuel left when landing.

greets,
i have 757, for fsx running on windows 7 32bit, i can not get it to go in the auto pilot or, heading hold, speed hold. it climbs then as i let got and trim out, then try aiming the auto pilot, it will start to plumit Sad

The 737 and the MD82 have very high landing speed in real life compared to the size of the plane. I dont know about the 757, but it wouldnt surprise me if it had lower vref at all

Download the latest version of FSUIPC and reinstall it. The version of FSUIPC that gets shipped with the CS 757 is bugged and will cause autopilot issues

well, you should be sorry for yourself for not being able to use the sim earlier Tongue

You can use any version of FSUIPC that works with FSX as far as I know, it doesnt have to be registered if you dont own a license. Just download the latest from this site http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html, after you have deleted the broken version installed with the CS757 of course


Where is the FSUIPC that's installed with the 757? I installed the v4.4 update on 2-12-11 and I don't see any FSUIPC.dll in the CS folder. The only file I see is Captain_Sim.757.menu.dll ver 4.3.0.0. I do have the FSUIPC ver 4.60a in the FSX Modules folder. Thanks.

FSUIPC is installed in the FSX\Modules folder. Captain Sim provide a copy of it with the 757 because it is needed for the 757 work. That is why it isn't in the CS folder.
