FLCH does not start altitude change
Reply #32 - Dec 14th, 2008 at 6:58pm

Just started flying CS757 FSX pro-pack.  Every thing is working pretty well but a few things.  Key thing that bugs me is when I put in new altitude on the MCP and press FLCH, nothing happens.  I've been using V/S to start the plane up or down to the new altitude.

What am I doing wrong?

Arrival runway on the leg page and the display
Reply #33 - Dec 14th, 2008 at 1:32pm

I have just purchased and in stalled the B757 pro pack.
Being accustom to another company and another company I expect that after I have chose the runway at the arrival airport it would show on the leg page and on the display.
The FMC does not introduce the ILS/BRG in the NAV/RAD page.
I have tried 3 airports, it mounts up to the same thing.
Must we do that manually??
It also happen, especially when things are critical that the throttle hangs.
This is most annoying when descending to align with the runway.
Does someone has answers for me??????

Carolus,  at DEP/ARR page ignore all strings with ILS/BRG_RWY No. Scroll down to runway numbers and choose one (appropriate).  Then runway will appear on both: CDU Leg page & ND (with its ILS frequency & course at CDU Approach Ref page).

Hello Elyab,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried it twice and it works.
Hope it will be better when I purchase the Navigraph database.
If not than this is a serious bug in the FMC.

PS.
I discovered that Navigraph does not have a FMC database for the B752 CaptSim.
Is there some other place where I can get a solid database?????  Smiley  Wink  Sad
Regards,

It is more about how CS FMC handles existing database.
Anyway check further Navipraph updates  Wink

Meanwhile you can download terminal procedures for CS B757 here:

Did as you suggested but still not displaying arrival rwy. I can see the departure rwy but when I select the ARR, IE KPHL 09R it doesn't display. the freq will display 109.3 on the ND.

It works.
Pass all ILS_RWYs with PAGE DOWN button to runway numbers at the bottom of the list and choose your 09R:



Don't select any STAR - their import doesn't function properly yet. If you wish you can enter points manually (remove discontinuity and activate).
Now 09R appears with its vector on LEGS page:



Now check Approach REF page - you will find both: ILS frequency and course of 09R:



Using EFIS panel swich ND to PLAN mode and scroll with LEGS page to the end of your flight plan to ensure that 09R is shown properly on ND.

Good luck!

Hello Elyab,

Thanks for the link to Terry's Data base. I have downloaded it already.
What I knew is that  he mostly has the nav data for US and UK only, not for Europe.
I'll give it a try.

Thanks anyway.

Regards,

Carolus

Arrival Airport won.t show up in LEG view and on the ND.
I followed the 757 tutorial, but select for flight: KSEA-KPDX . Also I'm not able to Delete a whole flight and start over again with airplane still on ground. How do I get (load) a Picture in here? Happy New Year to All. Herb
