    CDU build 390 issues

    Issue with new CDU build 390. When selecting an approach at the destination airport I get a windows error message that says 'stop command encountered' and then the CDU software shuts down. Also, not as big of a problem, but the selected star does not appear in the RTE pages...ie DKK.YOUTH2...the proper waypoints do appear in the LEGS page. Anyone else get a chance to try the new build out yet? I am using the first set of test navdata 1206, could that be the problem, is the new build designed to work with the newer test data?

    Me also have the same error
    Yesterday I downloaded latest builds with test navadata from PM's site and when selected the VORDME approach at LGSR (Santorini Airport) i got the same error.
    When i choosed only the rwy and the STAR without the VORDME it worked.


    Another issue i had in my previous version, (that i have to check it in current) was that when modifying a route during the flight, in example a rwy change, until press the EXEC button the aircraft forgets that had already fly the previous legs and turns back to the first flightplan's leg as starting all the rout from the beggining having active all the points again.


    Best regards

    CDU build 390 issues

    I have been using PM for a few years now but the CDU part is not working very good at the moment to say the least.
    The Q is ofcourse is it the CDU or is it the navdata??
    I am using the latest Navigraph data.
    We have paid a lot of money for PM, at least they should keep us better informed.

    Regards

    Frans Spruit EHAM

    ps even Bob must agree with me this time

    So we can try the latest builds with old navdata,
    or old builds with current navdata to see where is the problem.

    This is a s/w approach for troubleshooting !!!

    I made the tests i said above and here are the results

    With Build CDU390 and old navdata 0610 the same error and cdu closing
    With Build CDU380 and current navdata no error, but many problems with fixes, flightplan route, waypoints, fuels remaing, magenta line in GC.

    I will return to by previous situation from backup

    That's why many people remaing in old versions, because they feel that new version have 90% new problems, trying to fix other older.

    As i wrote above in the same thread, i have problems also with latest navdata downloaded from PM's site (PM_CDUNAV_0704.zip) with this error message and CDU termination


    I will not install other navdata from navigraph, as they will also have them in the same format. As i can understand the problem is both latest in CDU and navadata, so i will flash back some months ago to previous buils and navdata
