FO FMC EXEC light not going out

Have just updated to 0.94.

Imported a flight plan via the correct method, added SIDs/STARs pressed EXEC and the information has gone into the FMC but the EXEC light stays illuminated. Have cross referenced with the CAPT FMC and cannot replicate the issue.

Also getting an issue in the FMC where it keeps changing the charectoristics of the next waypoint e.g speed/alt, this is not an issue i've had in the previous builds. I've attached the screenshots that were taken within 5 seconds of each other, can also see the EXEC light illuminted on FMC2.

Finally, are the engines supposed to automatically change for each phase of flight such as T/O - CLB - CRZ?

Most likely you had something else waiting to be executed that got lost in one of the pages.

The altitudes showed the same atltitude you had in the MCP, when you put in that weird altitude, maybe you accidentally therew it into into your VNAV page? (When you change the MCP it goes into your scratchpad)

The engines are only automatic from CLB to CRZ. TO - CLB happens only after selecting VNAV, pressing THR, or FLCH.

Weird altitude? Common in Asia/Russia where they fly in Meters as apposed to Feet, that should not be an issue. The issue was the ALT adjusting in the FMC nothing to do with the MCP ALT window.

Must be an issue then as i arm LNAV/VNAV prior to to departure and the change to does occur at the acceleration altitude.

Sorry misunderstanding, what do you mean it’s adjusting on the FMC?

Also, at the companies I work with on the 757/767, they’re told not to arm VNAV on the ground because it can cause issues. It doesn’t work like the 73 74 777 where that’s standard practice. Maybe do it the way they recommend and engage your vertical mode at your thrust reduction altitude? On the CS it definitely works fine if you do it like that. Only thing that still doesn’t work is the fact that the THR button doesn’t stay illuminated like it’s supposed to.

I don’t see anything wrong on your pictures of your LEGS page. Maybe I’m missing something?

In the first image, the speed/altitude is set to 250/FL321 for waypoint NTG, but all the waypoints after that are showing .801/FL321

In the second image, it's similar, but with the first speed/alitude (NTG) being 250/FL302, with the following waypoints showing .801/FL321

In the third image, the first speed/alitude (NTG) is 250/FL297, the next is 321/FL297 (PIKAS), and the following waypoints show different speeds at FL321

The images are taken all within a span of seconds and the variables are constantly changing, surely thats not correct?
