The tutorial is nice, but no matter what I try, any flight plan always comes into the FMC as lat/long, never by waypoint name!

Hi,

I'm totally new to this and I am trying really hard, but... I cannot get access to the aisle stand controls. I am working my way through the checklist and when it comes to settings on the aisle stand, I reach a full stop! These settings are listed in the operations manual and in the normal procedures manual but I cannot find a view that allows me to change/check the settings.

The other problem I have is when I access the view panel, then click on an alternative viewpoint (ie. co-pilot seat or jumpseat), the display just flickers a bit and returns back to the pilot seat! Really annoying!

Pls help - and sorry if I'm missing something really obvious!

PS. how come they are discontinuing support for FS9?!?! Just when I got up and running on this system. Typical.

Hi,

I had the same problem, when i inserted the route from FS flight plans. but if you insert the route manualy then you have the waypoint names,

Just bought this sim and think it's incredible, especially for the price. The amount of detail on the model alone is amazing. BUT! I'm also having this problem importing .plns... surely there's a fix for this, even if CS are no longer providing support? I'm surprised there's so little mentioned on this topic as surely more people have had this problem? I'm exporting .plns from FSNavigator and don't really want to have to type in every waypoint manually...

Figured it out... open the plan in FS, resave IN FS and then open in the FMC.
