Hello fellow simmers,

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or not, but i just purchased the 757 pro pack, but i cant't get no SID/STARS to appear in the FMC. When I go to the Departure/Arrivals page and select the runways, they simply do not appear. your help would be much apreciated. Thank's!

i too was disappointed to find out the fms was so limited in functionality in the 757 and the database even more limited. there are no sids/stars for most of the airports.

This is driving me nuts!  For several months I've been flying the 757 including programming a flight plan and then the FMC, and everything has worked normally except the swings in the autopilot.   I installed FSUIC 4 and that helped the autopilot problems.  In the last few days I programed a flight plan in Flight Planner, select the 757, install the saved flight plan, then program the CDU. Yesterday I used a saved flight plan, and the CDU told me KABQ was "not in database."  The flight plan never would install, I always got a message saying something to the effect that there was no route installed.  I tried again today with a tried and true route from KRSW to KATL.  The CDU told me KATL wasn't in the database and it wouldn't accept a flight plan.

The only change I've made is to reprogram the autopilot to eliminate the  wild swings reported frequently in another thread.

Any ideas of what's going wrong?

I was wondering if anyone had a method to add the navagation data for Hong Kong Kai Tak (the old airport).

I have had to manually enter the navagation data for the MD-11 into the navaids file folders, and after that I have the airport, complete with all navagation aids and all SID/STARS.  

I thought I could just copy and paste the data from the MD-11, but Captainsim's FMC data is laid out differently.

I have all the navagation data if it would be helpful for anyone who can come up with a solution.

How do I get the approach to show up on the screen It just shows the star no approach markings to correct runway. On others I used in the past when  I activate it will show it .I must be doing something wrong.I select runway then activate  it will show active but no line to runway?

Hi,

With the current version (4.2) a lot a SIDs STARs APPs are missing. The next upcomming patch (4.3) will add Navdata from the Navigraph. That mean all SIDs STARs APPs will be available like in the real aircraft.

Just wait a bit (around some days/weeks max) and you'll get a great surprise like only Captain Sim can make!

Today I programmed a route I flew several times with 4.2, it was RPLL-VHHX. Today when I programmed the route, all that appeared on the display was a dashed blue line, when I clicked activate and execute it did not turn solid and the CDU displayed a message that there was no active flight plan. Does anyone have a quick fix for this?

I, and others, have been having an issue with the FMC and installing a route with an approach. Even when getting all discontinuities removed, there is still a 'gap' in the route, usually from the last fix to the IAF or FAF.

By accident, I think I may have found part, if not all, of the problem with broken route segments. It appears that there are approaches in the 757 database that are not in the FSX database, and when trying to use these, the issue arises.

I discovered this when flying into KRNO. I selected the ILS for 34L in the FMC, which also shows in Airnav.com as a current approach. However I have installed a default FSX GPS in the 75, and looking at the approaches in there, this approach isnt listed.

I then loaded the RNAV 34L approach and everything was perfect on the approach. I left the #1 nav tuned to the ILS, and there was no signal recieved at all, so it definatly seems to be problem.

Just thought others might benifit from this and save a lot of time trying to use an approach that FSX doesn't support.
