Hi,
I have just installed the 757 and I have two strange problems:

- on the FMC I can only see the waypoints in co-ordinates format instead of their names,

- I get the FMC message "UNABLE CRUISE ALTITUDE" even if I am well below the max permitted altitude  Undecided

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks
Lorenzo

I couldn't clear it, it came back disengaged VNAV and revert to SPD...it's weird. Also the coordinates instead of the waypoints are curious.

The message is not related to the max permitted altitude. It depends on distance, cost index and cruise altitude and is displayed if you have "a zero cruise time at the entered cruise altitude" (see manual part 5, page 94). Its only an advisory message.

Since I updated to version 4.4 I have two problems:

1: Approaching EHAM rwy 27, I wanted to delete the transition because I was being vectored to the runway, after selecting the second to last waypoint before the runway and entering that one as the first waypoint to fly to, all waypoints disapeared, the only thing left on the legs page was vectors

2: after taking off GCLP, when activating the AP I allways fly the plane in heading mode because the DME Arc is not in the STAR, as soon as I've flown the ac to the first waypoint after the DME Arc I want to switch to LNAV (Which is allready armed on the runway), but as soon as I want to do that the aircraft turns 180 degrees and heads back to the previous waypoint which isn't on the legs page anymore.
I found out that switching to LNAV right before a waypoint works fine, but when, say, flying halfway inbetween two waypoints it allways turns back to the previous one.

Hope someone can help me out here, because this kind of behaviour is no fun when flying online, ATC doesn't like ac making 360's halfway down a SID  Cheesy

P.S. I've read the FMS manual but cannot find how to enter DME Arc fixes, it only describes how DME Arc fixes are presented in the FMC but not how they can be entered!

757 VNAV

Hi

Just flown my first route with the 757X {V4.4} but did not get any VNAV descent planned by the FMC or executed?  I had input correct arrival runway etc but no TD was shown nor did the CDU Legs page show any descent.  Had to use FLCH.

Flown similar with another company/another company/PSS with no probs - I must have missed something so grateful for advice.

Thanks

DME ARC STARS/SIDS

Hello
I'm having trouble with executing an Dme Arc SID/STAR.
When i choose an STAR (for example ILS 04L VEVAR5R trans NERAS LFMN airport) the aircraft does not follow the arc route to the runway. The dme distances shows in the FMC legs page but on the ND, on the ND they appears on really strange positions and not even close to the arc positions. I'm wondering if you have to fly the arc manually with heading or is there's something i've missed in the FMC programming??
I hope you understand what i mean  Undecided

regards
mikael

I don't really understand how to use them I have read the tutorial, but it doesn't really go into how you know which ones to click for what routes etc?

Hi.

Try the FMC Tutorial HERE. It will give you a really good idea of how to enter the data into the CDU correctly. This will then enable the FMC to provide the information required for LNAV and VNAV control on the Autopilot. I had to do those tutorials quite a few times before it all made sense to me.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't Check-In to your profile, select the 757. Select Extended Download Service then select the Get New Links button. Download it again from the new link and install it to see if that fixes your problem.

I say this because I had a weird problem with my 757-300 Expansion Model v4.4, it appeared to install properly but I had problems with it not working properly. After downloading it again and installing it it has worked fine ever since. It's worth a try.

Hope this helps

Once a flight plan has been manually entered into the FMC and stepped through for discos etis is there anyway to save the flight plan for later recall for future flights brtween the same origin and destination?

Thank you

Hi Mike

After the route has been activated and executed in the FMC, you should see :

 ROUTE
<SAVE

Click on the Left LSK 4. Give it a name and save it. It gets saved to the FSX\Captain_Sim\navigation\routes folder. See ‘757 Captain’ FLIGHT MANUAL Part V – Flight Management System page 39.

Since your reply I have flow 6 flights in CS products. Two routes have been saved and on four I have received the message "ROUTE SAVE FAILURE" which makes no sense to me since I have flown them all, they are from flightaware, The saved routes included departure runway, SID, route, STAR and approach to landing runway. The failures include just the route but I have also tried them them with runways, SIDS, STARS but I still received the same message. I have tried completed OH panel and just the 3 IRS in the Nav position. The plane and FMC ready for takeoff. THe FMC completed thru POS INIT, and RTE, and stepped thru the legs looking for discos, crz alt and no crz altitude. I have tried the plane in every conceivable configuration I can think of. I have even tried the 767, I still get "ROUTE SAVE FAILURE". Any ideas? I can send a route if you would like to try it.

Thank you
Michael Cubine
