New CDU build (Route issue solved)

[Peter Nielsen]

Hi
there are a whole suite of updates since last week, and at least from my side the dissapearing Route seems to have been resolved fully.
can others also confirm this?

Hi guys,

I can confirm missing route issue is solved. However when I LSK6 for OFFSET It opens the APPROACH page. This has been there for some time now. Also the AAROACH page sometimes opens the TAKEOFF page.

A very brief first look confirms this indeed. I don't know if OFFSET is an issue, will try. In the past this function did not do anything at all, don't know if that's been fixed anyway.

There is so much wrong with build 480 that I'm going back to build 406. The route page is so tempremental.

I love the Top of Decent alert 20 times on my approach! LOL

Ah, you can disable this in PMSound.

I've been testing it all day and yes, the RTE page doesn't disappear any more, BUT .....

It will be a long mail to Enrico I'm afraid.

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).
