New CDU build (Route issue solved)

[Peter Nielsen]

Peter (and others),

have mailed to Enrico and gave him the things I found (which were not restricted to the Route issue alone). I won't elaborate too much, but the important topics were:

1. Route page built from scratch seems to be OK.
2. Route page with an imported (previously stored) route is shown for maybe 2 seconds and then disappears (LEGS page does have the waypoints though).
3. Frequently the FMC gets stuck when trying to select a DEP or ARR on the DEP/ARR page. Rebooting program seems to help but not a permanent remedy.
4. In the ARR section all "home made" approaches/transitions (which are stored in the "appdata2.txt" file) are missing.
5. The added teardrop and parallel entry for HOLD cannot be selected.
6. Finding airways between waypoints on the RTE page (by using LSK R) seems not te be working anymore (at least right after SID).
7. Intercepting a course is not possible.

Don't know what Sean has found and if he has already informed PM Support.
My advice is to have a look yourself also (we all have different set ups) and report problems to PM first (and after that you can share them with us if you want).

Personally I am about to start experimenting with PROSIM737 as from the info Im getting their systems are much more realistic....

Hi,

PROSIM is promising. The system depth is amazing.

I have to admit that I have no problems at all with the current build..
The route works, the a/c follows it spot on, if i press N1 thats what i get, so its strange that others have multiple issues..

Well lucky you, but don't know if it's FS9 or FSX. I have FS9.

And I think after some testing that I can skip one item, about the stored routes. That is as long as it is a route stored with the new build. That comes back in good order but routes stored under older builds still disappear after a few seconds.

Can you choose an entry when planning a HOLD?
