Hi tupular

I am working on doing a small tutorial for you. It just progressing slower than I had hoped. All the CDU screenshots, that are needed, are done (I think), but getting them in order and modifying them is taking more time than expected.

I plan to have it done in PDF format so you it can be download when it's done.

I am getting there, slowly.

Crap! I had to start over.

Over the last 6 months, or so, I've been switching between v1.4 and v1.5. The flight that I did the other day was perfect, but trying to redo it again today, to help gather correct info and a few missing screenshots, my 767 would not use LNAV. The LNAV button was lit, but it was white on the ADI, so it wasn't working. I could only use HDG SEL or HDG HOLD! So I've just reinstalled the 767-300 Base Pack to get it working again. Once done, I started from scratch. Most of the images are done and ready, now all I need to do is write the tutorial around the images and save it. I am redoing the flight now.

Hi Tupulur.

When I first bought the 767 v1.0 (the day it was released), I was pretty much a newbie at using the FMC (from 1983 to 2009 all my Flight Simulator flying was with GA aircraft, not airliners). The incident I mentioned above was the first time this has happened to me! And as I said in my post, for months, I have been flitting between v1.4 and v1.5, sometimes even having them both installed at the same time. I suspect that I messed up and was using a combination of 1.4 and 1.5 of the 767, which won't work, so I uninstalled, removed any leftovers, then reinstalled v1.5 and it works properly again.

It isn't Captain Sim's fault if I messed around with the installation of two different versions and caused a problem. I was doing it at my own risk, so it was my fault, not theirs.

Sorry if I misunderstood what you said when you said If this happen to experts like you Markoz,  think about the struggle a newbie like me has to undergo. It was just how it came across to me.

I was also saying that I had only been using complex airliners (aircraft that use an FMC) for a short time, (only about 3 months) when Captain Sim released the 767-300 Base Pack v1.0. So I was still learning the complexities of these types of aircraft at that time, yet I never had it do what yours is doing to you.

Unfortunately, I have no idea of how long you have been using aircraft that use an FMC, since you've never really said, so I'm guessing it is more than 3 months.

One more question.
What Navigation Database are you using? The one thtat comes with the 767 v1.5? Or do you update them monthly with NavDataPro or Navigraph subscription(s). I'm only asking because I will base my tutorial on whichever version you are using (I have all of them from 1002 to 1307 (Navigraph)). I have a 13 cycle subscription with NavDataPro, but I don't like the way it works so it is out of date (I haven't updated it for a few months now). Besides all that, I found both to be very similar anyway, especially with the changes that Navigraph made since their renewed AIRAC cycle 1301.

Aha. That might help explain why I couldn't see which SID and STAR you were selecting in the email you sent, where it looks like you didn't select any at all.

Quote:
Okay. I reinstall that AIRAC and restart the tutorial. Should only require minor changes to the images and the written information that I have done so far.

In the mean time, have you tried doing the 757-200 FMC Tutorial? I know it's for the 757, but the FMC is identical in both the 757 and 767, so it's something to try while I complete a "proper" one for the 767.

Another AHA moment for me. That clarifies this line:
I have read the tutorials to program FMC but when I try to vreate a flight plan from KLAX to KLAS, the route I get is different from the one given in the tutorial.
in you original post. But then the one you included images of in your email to me were KLAX to KSFO (which is the route I am using in the tutorial).

Don't worry, you're not bothering me at all. I've just had a few bad days, but everything should be okay now.

Thanks a lot Mark.
I have just downloaded the tutorial and am going through the same. Today I am down with fever. I will try the flight soon and get back to you.
Thanks again

Hi Mark,

I am really happy that I am instrumental for such a detailed and excellent tutorial on Captain 767 and its FMC from you. I am sure this tutorial will be of immense help to many who purchase this aircraft for the first time.

I could make out the mistake I was doing so far. I was  setting the Thrust in Takeoff Ref page as 60degrees as suggested by Aussie in his 757-200 FMC tutorial (Sep 10, 2008) and this was resulting in V1, VRand V2 in the range of 157 to 162. May be this was resulting in stalling immediately after take off. (Most of the time I would have almost reached the end of the runway before VR  is reached  

Today I have tried a run exactly as per your tutorial - it was wonderful  all the way from KLAX up to SHAKE.  Then the localiser got locked and when I clicked the APP button and set the speed to 180knots the aircarft started swaying from left to right and over shot the runway !!

My present [Custom Autopilot] settings are :

AP_Roll_speed=3.80
AP_Roll_window=7
AP_Roll_controlstep=1500
AP_Roll_mincontrol=-15884
AP_Roll_maxcontrol=15884
AP_Pitch_speed=0.3
AP_Pitch_window=2.5
AP_Pitch_controlstep=50
AP_Pitch_mincontrol=-12200
AP_Pitch_maxcontrol=14200
AP_VS_speed=320
AP_VS_window=930
AP_VS_controlstep=0.9
AP_VS_mincontrol=-15
AP_VS_maxcontrol=30
AP_FLCH_speed=2
AP_FLCH_window=16

(mine being 1.5 version)

I am not sure what caused the above swaying. I will try again.

Mean while I want to thank you  again for the wonderful tutorial.

I can't understand why that happens.

Try making some changes to these three settings:

AP_Roll_speed=3.80
AP_Roll_window=7
AP_Roll_controlstep=1500

in the [Custom Autopilot] section. I pretty sure that others were changing them when they have that problem. It would be worth searching the 767 Captain - General forum for them. I never needed them, so I don't know exactly what they were changed to, nor where to find them. Sorry.

I don't know what causes it, but my Captain Sim 757 started doing it a while ago. All I did was run the installer and selected "Repair" and the 757 was fine again. My guess is that something else I may have installed messed it up.

I guess should check the CS 767, which I haven't flown for a while, to see if it may have been affected.

Have fun.

I checked out the Hervé Sors website for information, and it actually updates FSX and P3D by replacing the .BGL files that contain all the information for the FSX/P3D Map and GPS (Waypoints, VOR's, NDB's, etc.) and so it has nothing to do with the 767 CDU. If you create a flight plan using the default FSX Flight Planner, it will use the data from the Hervé Sors updated files.

The CS 767 CDU/FMS uses the AIRAC information, that is installed at the same time, and that information is in the FSX\Captain_Sim\navigation folder.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just bought the 767 and tried to download Markoz' tutorial, and I am getting a "problem loading page" error.  Is there another link to download this?

Thanks Mark!

excellent Tutorial. Congratulations.
But one question: how do you calculate the CG?
I found the table to receive value for Stab Trim settings which are referred to CG too.

Quickly, on the topic of the FMC, how can you import a flight plan, say made in Simbrief?

I tried looking for the folder to put the flight plan in, and I think I found it, but the FP did not show up in the FMC.

-Side note- I am not able to start topics on the forum, for say this question. Does anyone know what I must do to be able to do that?

Another oberservation referred FMC and Flight Route RTE LEG Page.
I created an flightplan started at Dep RWY and SID, next included the Flight Plan and finished with ARR Rwy and transition. But STAR was not available.
If I scrolled through the LEG-Page the route finished at the last waypoint but not at the ARR Airport RWY.

Sorry, it was not helpful.
But I found a intermediate way.
I look on the charts an add the waypoints by hand.
If Transitions added from the program it is absolut necessary to combine chart and FMC-RTE-Map waypoint by waypoint.
Sometimes there are waypoints added which are not known

I don't know if this will help any of the recent posters with weird behavior from the 767 Captain, but I had weird stuff happening with the plane until I started re-loading it once for every flight.

I just competed a flight in the 767 from KSEA to KSFO.  Started the default flight supplied by Captain Sim, 767 at KSEA runway 34R.  Then changed the flight plan to a previously saved flight to San Francisco.  This is the first flight I have made in the 767 since installing FSX Steam.  Had no problems during the flight - it followed all the heading changes programmed into the FMS.  Made an auto landing at KSFO.  I monitor the VAS, and use Plan-G on a networked computer to aid in situational awareness.  Also use Active Sky 2016 for real-time weather.

So when running FSX-SE the 767 has no problems following the flight plan

Another observation referred to Trim
If you enter f. e. 30 for CG FMC calculate 30 for trim . But the correct value has to be -30 (minus 30).
If you set the trim to 30 your aircraft stalls after T/O

The CDU/FMC only needs a Departure airport and runway (if you load a route created with the default MSFS Flight Planner, you will automatically get a departure runway), and an Arrival airport, with waypoints in the middle. Then you are responsible for the takeoff, figuring out the TD, and the landing.

I have one question about RTE-üage and Waypoint-input.
How can I delete single waypoints when I put in a wrong one?
Or how can I delet the complete rte-page?

normally you create a new flight plan with the FSX Menu, then you can create a diregt GPS or VOR - to VOR flight plan and set your cruise ALT, if you create your flight plan *.pln you can load the flight plan into your Captain Sim, 757 / 767 FMC thats all!
