Can't execute flightplan
Aug 1st, 2011 at 7:48pm
Print Post  
I was just getting ready for a flight from Miami to Dallas-Fort Worth as AAL2465, and after I had entered all of my waypoints in my FMC, I clicked activate and then execute like normal. But it would not execute. The blue dashed line on the MFD did not turn magenta as it would if activated. After executing the the flight plan, the ACTIVATE option appeared again. I tried it multiple time after that and it did not work. Has this happened to anyone else before? Is there a fix?

Maybe you've missed something before? We can only assume things there, but you e. g. need to run the whole PERF section.

Maybe, I'll try it again tomorrow and see what happens.

As a workaround, use the 707, doesn't have a FMC.  Grin (just kidding)
I've just written an engine start tutorial on the 707 and, once again, found out how a nice rendition this thing is.

Very cool! Could you also do one for the 727?

Isn't there already such a thing?
I promise to picture make another one when the 2.5 gets out.  Cheesy
