I looked at the Navigraph STAR in their database (I'm using the latest AIRAC) and can't really tell if it is good or not.

EDIT: I was looking at the SID.  There is no STAR.

Now I have to apologize to my toy airplane.

Sigh.

But you're right, it is good to know she's innocent.  I guess I'll notify Navigraph after work tonight.  That's a favorite route of mine, since it is in the "World's 100 Busiest Airports."

Good sleuthing.

Hi Michael.

When I selected ILS34 I got a TRANS (not a STAR, so my mistake on stating that) called VIR, of which the first waypoint is VIR/13. This waypoint is, roughly, ~65nm on a heading of 303^o from TOTAI. Once you reach TOTAI, the distance to VIR/13 switches to 0nm (still 303^o heading) and the planes start turning left, like they are going to circle the TOTAI waypoint. The planes also start to do a steep decent because they need to be at around 5000' when they get there, and I'm usually at around 29000'-31000'.

I might revert to last months AIRACS to see if it happens there. I could also choose NOT to select the TRANS.

Hope this clears what is going on here.

I am trying to recall exactly what I did on the approach and landing. I believe VIR/13 was the transition for ILS34. Once I executed the route I went to the legs page and stepped thru the plan. I noticed right before VIR/13 there was a sharp kink so I deleted VIR/13 but the kink just moved to the next waypoint. I figured this was never going to work. So once I was flying and had established that there was no problem at TOTAI I set up a fix using the rwy heading as the legs, disengaged LNAV, intercepted the fix, and followed it until I intercepted the localizer.

Just purchased the 757-200 and am finding problems with the AP. �I'm used to flying the another company 767 and expect that the 757 is fairly similar. �I've studied the manual and looked at a few of the tutorials on the site and am pretty sure that the IRS and FMC are set up ok.
Problem is that that when I takeoff and switch Lnav and Vnav on, followed by the autopilot, I dont get any lateral nav and soon overspeed - the autothrottle doesn't seem to work. �Vnav will capture a set altitude and switch to hold mode ok. �If I switch Lnav off and use the heading select knob, the autopilot doesn't follow.

I'm running Winxp with FSX SP2 and FSUIPC4.6 (have also tried the 4.5 which comes with the 757). �All other aircraft fly ok on my system and I've reinstalled CS757 just in to be sure.

Got me well puzzled and not sure where to go from here, hopefully I'm just being dumb, next stop technical support I guess. �Any ideas appreciated.

That did it �Cleaned out my modules folder, reinstalled FSUIPC and autopilot seems to work ok. �Strange how installing on top of existing FSUIPC didn't work, but at least I've a way forward.

Observation though; when flying with autopilot and heading select, there is a tendency to overshoot a couple of times before settling on course. �Seems more sensitive than my another company 767, but maybe I just need to get used to it. �Quite pleased with CS 757 so far, definite bargain at sale price, so no regrets there. �Tks Captain Sim.

Installing the CS 757-200 Base Pack should install all the files in their correct locations, so you really shouldn't need to copy any files from anywhere to get it working. Do you have FSUIPC 4.x installed?
