I always turn the IRS Mode Selectors knobs straight to the NAV position and not the ALIGN position. The alignment works fine for me doing it this way. Hope this helps. Mark

I cant get the approach to setup on there. I have the STAR and runway selected it just want mark them as waypoints. Does anyone know what Im doing wrong?

Hello.

First apologize for my bad English (I hope you understand my question.)
I downloaded version 4.4, and I have a problem with the ILS, I can not tune or automatically (FMC) or manual.

I have to say that the route into the FMC is well programmed, but when you start the approach to runway ILS I have no signal.

As a curious thing, I have to say that on the ground and before aligning the IRS, if you can tune the ILS frequency.

A greeting.

From what I have found, when you are on the arrival page of the FMC, you will have 3 choices. STAR, Runway, and Transition, you have to add all 3. If you don't add the transition, the arrival will not show on the flight plan.

I seem to spend allot of time in these forums moaning about the CS757. I genuinely don't care about the money it cost to purchase, I really don't!! It's the fact that I love this aircraft so much that I want it to work all in one go. It's heartbreaking I can't fly the aircraft to its full potential. I have an 8 year old Son and I moan at him allot about his behavior, it's because I love him dearly and want him to do well. Its the same with the CS757.

Fantastic tutorial, certainly has helped me master most of the stuff with regard to the FMC, however, where can I learn more about SIDS and STARS. I seem to be missing something and wind up flying in circles on the final bit of the approach. Eventually I go in the good old fashioned way by locking my nav radio onto the ILS and flying in that way. How and where to find ways to change this please?

Hi Lee.

If you are flying around in circles instead of capturing the ILS/GS, then I need to know if the end of the route is missing. Looking through the LEGS page, does the route end where the STAR should begin? This could explain the problem.

Another question. Are you wanting to change from one STAR and Runway (which can happen when using real weather like REX or AS2012) to another when using real weather? If that's what you want to do, I usually have the RTE1 copied into RTE2 and I change the STAR and Runway in there and then Activate RTE2. If you are in the middle of the STAR, then switching to RTE2 might end up wanting to turn you back, 180 degrees, to the start of the STAR in RTE2. It is best to use Heading HOLD when switching from RTE1 to RTE2 (and vice-verse), then make any changes in the LEGS page that might be needed prior to turning LNAV back on.

Hope this helps

I suspect i'm fluffing it with transitions etc. I'm not sure, at least I'm getting the hang of FMC flying.
