Hi guys,
I must be doing something wrong. Since updating to v4.6, my FMC no longer computes TOD, and its calculations on required fuel are exaggerated until it gets into Cruise mode.
The TOD is very annoying, as the acft no longer has any intention of descending. I have to manage the descent manually using V/S etc.
UPDATE: It is now randomly showing and then dropping TOD data and calculations as per the two shots below. One minute it has TOD then it drops.
RTE PAGE TOD and then drops it
DISPLAY shows the TOD then it drops
I can do fuel calculations, and yet the FMC says 'Insufficient Fuel' until I get into the Cruise and it seems to recalculate correctly.
Any ideas please.
