Re: Disappearing route info
Well,
I think it is safe to say we ALL have this problem that is if we are using any CDU version above the 399. I have sent several emails to Enrico, even tried to make a small video of the situation as its like you say the route dissapears the second i enter EXEC but the quality of the video was horrible so i never sent that to them.
I also have weird distances lately.,. for example route EHAM to EKCH via ANDIK to DHE and into LUGAS all in all the leg pages show a distance of some 280nms if i go to the Progress page the distance is more than 3000 miles and of course the fuel at destination is zero..
Too many bugs in the CDU to make it usefull these days

Peter,
If indeed we ALL suffer from this then the more mails to PM the better. I got the reply from support that Enrico "at some point" would look into this. Now to move that "point" from a distant future to the very near future, contacting PM support would be the first thing to do. Especially since PM in a text file explaining the changes of one of the latest builts, asked (complained?) that bug reports should be sent to PM instead of to this Forum. I think it's more than fair to honour this request, don't you?
I have not noticed the weird distances but will check.

I've just returned from Clive's (BOTM) sim and tried his CDU. He does not experience this problem and is running 406.

Sean,
are you going to try 406?

Re: Disappearing route info
Clive is going to see if he can locate it for me. If he can, I'm certainly going to try it.
I've also asked PM if older versions are available for download.
Re: Disappearing route info
OK you PM users, here's an update.
Sean has discovered that CDU 406 still worked fine but after that build it went wrong with the RTE page again. This has been reported to PM and they acknowledged the problem and will work on it.
I myself experience also problems with speed restrictions. In between waypoints (below 10.000) with speed restrictions assigned (e.g. wpt 1: 210, wpt 2: 190, wpt 3: 160), the speed bug jumps back to 250. This also has been reported to support.
Regards,
JWS

Lost RTE problem seems to have been solved since 01092010.

Well, partly that is.
