	Hello I'm pretty new to airliners and the fmc but I have been following instructions as to how to set my initial position and can't seem to get it to work. I align the IRS. Then go into the fmc. Click to get last known position to appear on the bottom of the fmc screen. Then when I put all three knobs on the IRS to nav the align light starts blinking above all three knobs and the fmc says something like set IRS position. At this point I can't seen to make anything work. I watched a tutorial video and it never showed the align lights blinking. Can anyone perhaps shed some light on this please? �Thank you in advance.

	I align the IRS. Then go into the fmc. Try going to fmc before you touch the IRS. Do the last postion routine in the FMC in the pos init page and then try to align the IRS.

	After turning the battery on, switch all three IRS units to "NAV", then initialize the FMC.

	As I posted in the other thread... I had trouble getting the FMC to "activate" a route if it was just a direct line between the origin & destination (two waypoints total). Figured I'd add it here in case people find via search...

	ZFW range is approx 181.6 to 259.9. That should work for you.

	Which 767 Model and version? The reason I ask is because I had that problem with the E767AWACS v1.3 but since v1.4 I don't have that happening any more. Mark

	so im really excited about getting in the air, but when i was programming the sids and stars into the fmc, i get 2 discons each one seperating the sid/star, and i can't figure out how to eliminate them. deleteing them, or simply typeing in the next waypoint as in other planes doesn't work, the discon is just moved further down the route. is this a bug, or am i not doing something right? thanks for the help, can't wait to fly liam757

	just click on the line select key (LSK) under the discontinuity, to put the next waypoint in the scratch pad. then click on the LSK next to the discon, and click activate. The discon should now be gone. Works fine here...

	How extensive is the FMS airfields database? I've just tried to load a FP from FSX for ORBS (Baghdad International) to OERK (King Khaled International). FSX has ORBS in its database but the 767 FMS tells me its not in the database and won't accept the departure airfield. Minor airfields missing I can understand but an international? is this an oversight? Regards. Ian

	Hello Ian, you can update your database with a payware AIRIC cyle from Navigraph. Here is the link: http://www.navigraph.com/www/default.asp Greetings, Roman

	Hi Ian. In my FSX Baghdad International comes up with the ICAO of ORBI and not ORBS. ORBS isn't a listed airport in my FSX either. ORBS is not in my 767 FMS database but ORBI is in the database. Perhaps your error is in using an incorrect ICAO airport code. Hope this helps. Mark
