Descent procedure

Hi

Now that the descent altitudes can be put in the FMC ( Smiley), what do more experienced 757 simmers than myself do to descend?

I have been learning on the another company 747, but the way VNAV & FLCH works on the 757 seems to be a bit different in that it doesn't seem to follow the descent profile.

This is probably user error, so if anyone can please pass on the benefit of theiur experience I would be most grateful.

Thanks!

Dominic

VNAV should take you down right to glideslope capture altitude.  When I'm using ATC, I use level change.
