	Hey guys , not sure about it but when i load a fsx flightplan into fms there is no decent profil available in legs page. Step climb looks good but after that the crz altitude is given until the destination. Example : LEBL / 0.80 / FL350 whats wrong ? I got only a decent profile when i give a STAR befor approach.

	The FMC only produces a descent profile if you choose a SID or STAR--you don't have a T/D calculation on the PROG page, either, right?

	I have seen the same behavior as the original poster even with a STAR loaded. �In fact last weekend on�a flight South to�North across Australia. �Lateral navigation wise she flew the STAR just fine. �There was no T/D and no descent profile however. �FMC showed FL360 all the way to the IAF for the ILS. Also the �arrival time at each waypoint on the flight plan was shown as the current time and the fuel remaining did not decrease on the FMC. �I took off with 26000KG fuel and for each waypoint including the destination airport the FMC showed 21.1 (i.e., 21100KG) remaining. �The fuel readout on the overhead panel was fine. Good thing I can do the calculations manually. I did use a derated T/O. �Does that mess up the FMC?

	The lack of a T/D and a descent profile like you describe is a bug. It happens with some STAR/TRANS, but not all. When this happens, I either select a new STAR (sometimes fixes it) or I have to try a little trick of copying a waypoint, into the scratchpad, from within the STAR or TRANS and then pasting it over the previous waypoint. Then ERASE (DO NOT PRESS EXEC) the change, this will sometimes get a T/D and a descent profile. Sometimes I need to do this a few times (using different waypoints but still from within the STAR/TRANS) to get the T/D and descent profile. Other times, it just does not work at all. If I cannot get it to work at all, I usually quit the flight or choose a new destination. AND. The ones that I can't get working are always the same ones. This means if I can't get the T/D to stick, I never will get it to stick for that particular ILS, STAR and TRANS. I'm planning on doing a tutorial that covers the 757, 767 and 777, on how I do it.
