Hi Yves:
You need to provide more information. What route are you trying to fly?

Thanks,

Fabio

Hi,

How can I send you pictures.
In fact, It seems that it is a problem with importing FS plans.
I imported ELLXLIRF, and the fist point I find is E6 42.50, 6675 nm away from Luxembourg..... instead of GTQ which is the first point of th plan.
How to correct that?

thank's
Yves

I haven't tried this out, yet, within the FMC, but can you try to delete the bad point in the "Legs" section?
I have been using FS Navigator to put my flight plans together and haven't had any issues with having bad waypoints,etc. I'll have to see if the FMC will allow me to make adjustments to the flight plan.

In fact, I think that the problem begins when I add a departure rwy. It's after this action that teh first point is cahnged by a waypoint at least 1700 nm away....

Hi,

bought and installed the CS757 yesterday. Tried my first flight and ran into the same issue.

I used FSBuild to create a FS9 flight plan (EGLL-LEMD) with SID included. Load up FS9 and chose the new flight plan and also let FS place the default Cessna at the correct location. Then load the CS757 and start the FMC programming. When I get to the route page I import the FS flight plan and finish the remaining steps until I get "Pre-flight complete". However I don't get to see the flight plan on the EFIS, no matter what settings I use. The LEGS page in the FMC shows 5 pages of waypoints (all with coordinates and no names) and the first waypoint, which is actually part of the SID) is some 6500 miles away. Of course in that case LNAV/VNAV doesn't really work (well I can enable them after takeoff but of course that doesn't bring me to LEMD).

First thing I do before programming the FMC is aligning the IRS, so yes this has been done.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong ? The FS GPS shows the correct flightplan as loaded at the beginning !

Thanks for your comments.
