I have been having issues with rnav approaches, ill select an rnav runway and a transition, and while plugging the discontinuity, my alts will alter for a descent and when i activate they all go back to my cruise alt, if i try to manually add alts, the fmc or autopilot refuses to make a t/d  point for me.  However when I use an ILS approach with a STAR and a transition my automatically altered altitudes remain intact and I get a T/D point.  Am i doing something wrong for RNAV?  I really like this plane and want it to work, so if I'm doing something wrong I'd like to know before i uninstall it and save myself the headache.  Before anyone asks I'm runnin latest FSUIPC, I have tried reinstalling the 767 AND I have reinstalled FSUIPC after adding another aircraft.

Hi deimos256.

I have read this post. And I didn't reply simply because I haven't done an RNAV approach before. That also means that I don't have that problem as well showing up either.

Maybe if you give us the flight plan, some of us could try it and see how we go. We can then see if we get the problem too. We might even be able to figure out what might be causing the problem and then find a fix for it.

If I create a flight plan using the FSX Flight Planner, I have found that when it finds the High Altitude airways it starts with the VOR loacated at the departure airport and finishes with the VOR at the destination airport. I usually delete the departure airports VOR from the flight plan, but I leave the destination VOR in it. How this affects an RNAV approach I don't know because I haven't done one yet.

Because I update my AIRACS from Navigraph every month, I use FS Commander 8.6 to create most plans. CS767/757 and FSC8.6 will match when it comes to the flight plans I create.

As for using something like http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/. I started off using that and I thought it was pretty easy.

Okay. You obviously know how to put the Departure and Destination airports into the FMC (Pic1). Notice that up the top it displays 1/2. Click on NEXT PAGE.
Pic1.

On ROUTE PAGE 2, enter them the same way as I have in Pic2 (1 - 9), and when there is no more room click on NEXT PAGE (10) again.
Pic2

Continue to do the same as I have on ROUTE PAGE 3 in Pic3 (11 - 14). Activate the plan (15) and EXEC (16). Doing your route this way, the FMC fills in ALL the waypoints along the "Airway" for you and saves a lot of time key clicking if you were to add all the waypoints individually. You can see this by looking in the LEGS pages. Thanks for that information go to Tim Capps who pointed that out to me.
You can add KDAB on the right LSK3 in Pic3 if you want. I usually don't worry about it because the STAR and TRANS waypoints will complete the arrival at KDAB. As an afterthought, is entering the destination airport the reason you altitudes are getting reset after EXECing the STARs and TRANS?

One other thing. You had me stumped with the DCT. It wasn't in the database. I finally figured out that you were using a shortcut for DIRECT. The full word would have made it easier to figure out. But no worries. I got it in the end. LOL.

Hope this helps.

A new problem has popped up as well, For instance i made a flight from KMCO to KOAK with the last thing I put into the RTE page being CZQ, then for an arrival i picked ils29, star locke1, with a czq transition, when i go to the legs page the runway doesnt show up, it adds a few legs but theres no end, plus all the altitudes stay at 32000.

I have certainly had more success with ILS approaches, however now for some reason ill select one and my legs will end with the last wapoint on the approach, and wont list the runway, therefore no e/d point and no t/d point.  Im doing it the same as i have been but now this, the mysteries continue

Ok I wont try rnav anymore, now when you use an ils approach can you just enter that or does it need a star and a transition etc?  KDAB doesnt have any stars

I sometimes find it easier to do an ILS approach using only the TRANS because sometimes a STAR will twist and twirl all over the place.

You are right. KDAB doesn't have STARs for the ILS approach, but it does have Transitions. I used them for an ILS07 approach. They were a bit messy so I tidied them up by removing some of the TRANS waypoints. I still had a T/D and a E/D at RWY07.
