Hello, i can import a flightplan into the fmc but it goes downhill when i want to do an approach, the manual is pretty vague when it comes to inputting STARS.  Basically i select a star, a transition, and an approach, and when then when i get to about 30 miles of the STAR, the plane still hasnt desecended and does a hard right turn for absolutely no reason.  Any help, this is the second porked approach and im getting tired of wasting a 3 hour flight with this outcome.  Thanks for your time.

I have discovered a problem today, I created a flightplan within FSX and imported it into the FMC, I then selected RNAV runway 22r and hit activate, then i went into legs to correct a discontinuity, after filling in the gap, all of the altitudes change to create a descent profile, but as soon as i hit activate all those altitudes go back to my cruise alt.  For example one leg will be fl310 then the next will be 3000 feet.  This doesnt always happen, is there something i am doing wrong?

I'm really beginning to like and enjoy this bird.  The graphics are just so good and so smooth....

Is there a way adding VHHX Kai Tak to the navdata?  I've done it with other addon aircraft, but the format is different for the CS addons.

For any 'doubters' that still say the CS VNAV & LNAV is no good, I've actually managed to program the FMC to fly this bird within about 1/3 mile of the touchdown zone at Toncontin (MHTG)!  Believe me, that is no mean feat either

I have found that I only get a "descent" plan unless if I enter the RWY I'm going to land on and the STAR and the TRANS. This gives me a TD, and also the altitude constraints required at each of the waypoints after the TD. If you don't know the runway you are going to land on. Just choose any. NOTE: I have found that if I remove or change any of the waypoints in the STAR or TRANS I also lose the altitude constraints on ALL of them.

As a rule I fly VFR flights because the ATC is either pretty dumb or crazy and doesn't allow for STARs (I can sometimes get away with using SIDs) . I may fly an IFR plan one day though.  

Hope this helps.

if you select a runway and a transition you shouldnt need to tell the fmc when to descend, it should alter legs to accomodate.  My fmc used to do this and now when i hit activate it just puts all my leg altitudes back to my cruise alt

i want to fly over atlantic for a long distance flight from brussels to new york.

therfore following route i found:
DENUT UL610 LAM UL179 CPT UL9 BURAK UM140 DOGAL 54N020W 54N030W 54N040W 53N050W HECKK DCT YAY N184B TOPPS J581 ENE

but the problem is...how do i set the "54N030W 54N040W 53N050W" transatlantic routes into the FMC ???
i can set the intersections, but the other it dont find....

any help??

thx and regards

Hi guys,

I went throught all the documentation that came with the model but there is something I cant seem to figure out. I hope someone can help me with this as it's getting frustrating.

I must be doing something wrong. Here is what happens:

my setup:
(Software)
FSX
Radar Contact
FDC live cockpit
Super Flight Planner

(Hardware)
Duocore 3.4 Ghz
Radeon 8xxx graphics...sorry I dont remember the model
3 gigs of RAM
Saitek X52 flight system

- I file the propper flight plan and import it in the FMC (check for discontinuities etc)

- When everything is good, i get the propper clearances..so far, all is good.

- when in the climb phase, it seems that the FMC is not finishing the climb correctly and stops climbing before the correct altitude is reached. If I try to correct the situation by taking VNAV off and "force" the climb using the autopilot, it will try to climb the rest of the way but the airspeed is greatly affected and the plane stalls and goes into a spin (crashes).

Am i doing something wrong here? Why isnt the plane "listening" to what the FMC is telling it to do?

Thanks for any help. I would love to be able to take the plane from point A to B smoothly at some point. After 2 weeks I still have not landed it. I'm going completely nuts over this.
