Title: No Vspeeds
Post by Sidney Schwartz on Mar 3rd, 2017 at 4:45am
As far as I can tell I'm entering all the data I'm supposed to on the init ref pages of the FMC, but I can't the vspeeds to appear next to the speed tape. It always displays the message No Vspeed, and I get no vspeed call outs. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

I don't think that V-Speeds are available for the 777.  They are available for the 737 by fsxpaul, but not the 777.

No, not the vspeeds add-on, which I have for the 737. I'm talking about the built in function of the FMC. On all my other Boeing planes that have an FMC, once the data is entered in the init ref page, the vspeeds are calculated and displayed in the FMC and also on the speed tape (or as heading bugs on an analog IAS guage). In the 777, the vspeeds are displayed in the FMC, and the FMC also indicates vspeeds ON (in green). The vspeeds are not displayed on the speed tape, though. It makes no sense to me that the 777 would lack this capability, so I'm guessing that there's some bit of data that I'm not entering, or some button I'm not pushing. Hope this makes sense.

You have to set them on the CDU. They are on the right hand side of the TAKEOFF REF page - click on LSK1R, LSK2R, and LSK3R so they display on the Speed Tape

To add v-speed callouts:
The following post of mine helps users adapt Paul Tully's great v-speed callout utility made for the CS757/767 for use in the CS777, including an icon in the CS simicon panel to open/close it:
