does it the same with an non imported FP ? Try to enter a route on the RTE page (with JETWAY).

Just for testing

I get a preflight complete when I finish the takeoff data.  Are you clicking on the LSKs next to your v-speeds to confirm?  CG entered?

I leave the temperature blank.  This might have to do with derated thrust.

The "Thrust Temperature" is what they refer to as an "Assumed" temperature. �It is used to set a derated thrust.
If you use the actual outside temperature here, you will take off at full thrust. �If you use a temperature that is over the actual outside temperature, you will see a derated thrust of below 98%. �Normally this is used to help extend the life of the engines by taking off with 96% or 94% thrust instead of using more thrust than what is really needed for takeoff.
When you takeoff with derated thrust, you push the thrust levers forward to about 70% N1, then push the "EPR" button on the MCP. �This has to be done before 50kts or it will become disabled until 400AFE.  You will get the message on the PFD annunciator that will say "Thrust Set" with a box around it.
If you see that you need full thrust when taking off, just push the thrust levers forward against the stops and it will over ride the derated setting.

About the FMC, you say you are you putting the "Flap Setting" on the Take-Off page?
Mmmm...your missing something or you will get the Pre-Flight Complete message. �I always get that message.

Are you getting your Vspeeds put in with bold letters on the TakeOff page?

Are you solving any DISCOs in the flightplan?

Hello

I have a problem with my 757. Sometimes when I'm trying to put waypoints into FMC/Legs, it says "NOT IN DATA BASE". For example, today I wanted to create fly from KJFK to TJSJ, and it couldn't find 7 waypoints !!!!!!! Is there an update available for FSX to update it, or is there another way to fix it.

Please help me!!!

Regards

Sometime the "problem" can be in the new database, too, since waypoints can drop out.  I drove myself nuts for several days trying to figure out what was wrong, when all it was is that the Navigraph database had changed.  (The problem was their chart didn't match their navdata.)

If that happens, there are no shortage fo fixes, so try picking one close by.

As FSX will never be updated, I sometimes wonder if there will be more and more discrepancies between the latest Navigraph data and what is in FSX.

Hello,

When ever I program the 757 fmc with SID and STAR data, the speed and altitude constraints are incorrect in the database (version 4.3)

I asked my father-in-law who has been a long time Boeing pilot, and he said when he programs the 757 fmc, the SID/STAR constraints are correct and all he needs to do is cross check them with the charts. �I have been manually programming them, and of course when I get vectored to a different runway than I have programmed, I have to manually reenter the constraints after activating the flightplan with the new runway selected.

Is this normal, or is their a way to update the nav database so the SID/STAR constraints are accurate according to the Jeppesen charts?

Thank You,

Shane Gavin

EDIT: I downloaded the latest AIRAC and now it seems to work, except that I still have to manually enter speed restrictions of the selected STAR.

Hello I am having a problem with my FMC .. I flew from Gatwick to Manchester and i setup the FMC .. The route , the weight and everything . And i went in for STAR at Manchester . But then i saw that the FMC wasn't getting me to the airport .. It just stopped at some waypoint a bit far away . So it didn't give me the CI23R or RW23R as is should do .
Please help me , Palmi Fannar
