    I installed yesterday the new Beta CDU 393a. One flight from LMML to EDDM flown with no problems. It can be subjective, but I think the flightplan is now smoother on the magentaline.

    I made just a small check and get the same old error in preflite:

    example:
    EDDH-EGLL
    WSR UN125 EEL EN872 PAM UL980 LOGAN

    1. DEP RWY 23 WSR SID
    2. RTE Page: UN125.EEL UN872.PAM UL980.LOGAN
    until here all OK
    3. ARR RWY 27R LAM STAR
    NOW: after execute the waypoints between PAM-LOGAN are gone.
    It is the second line on the second RTE page which disappear.

    If you put in manualy all waypoints on the LEGS PAGE it works great
    (as before)! But this is hard work for long flights

    Pls confirm my results to clear up, that the problem is not on my site.
    Thanks

    Cdu

    Hi

    We are still testing this, it is not really a release build, but if you follow procedures correctly and use the correct navdata you should see an improvement. This is not the final build, it is only up there because we had some e-mail problems yesturday transfering files.
    There are also operational differences re weights with the new builds that have to be considered.

    Regards

    Hi all,

    the old problem with the disapearing of parts of the route only comes if you enter the route via the RTE page with the airway.waypoint format.
    If you enter the route via the LEGs page (point by point) I fond NO problems.

    I can live with this sitiuation, Jonathan told me, this not very big problem will not be repaired in the next update of the CDU.

    Thanks for informing me.
    And keep on improving - we love PM!

    I did 2 testflts with the latest beta build of the CDU.
    My routings were :
    EBOS/EGKK - SID 08/SASKI - UL179 ERING - UY76 KOPUL - STAR 08R /
    EGKK/EBOS - SID 08R / DVR - UL9 KONAN - L607 KOK STAR 08 (which I made afterwards in flt a straight in from KONAN to DD 08

    There was no problem at all to change these routes during flts.

    I was setting the routes in preflight via RTE page, but first AWY and them waypoint limit. (not the airway.waypoint format )

    My general impression is the smoothness of the CDU operation and (maybe just an impression) a smoother networking aswell.

    I'm aware this is a rather small route, but the results are looking good so far.

    Just one remark, in the PFD lower/left corner an "SET AUTO" in amber is now coming up, what this mean and which type it is related ... no idea.

    Will check this with support.

    Many thanks PM, it looks we are on the route (or airway) again

    Hi Michel,

    good to hear - will test your way of inputting the data tomorrow.

    I found today still one little bug. When you change the RWY in flight - the heading starts getting crasy until you press EXECUTE. An old knowing bug ...

    Your SET AUTO question can I not answer, sorry!

    Regards

    Hi

    It is not really ideal testing this with the old MCP build. New one is not released yet. You are going to be a bit out of phase, but at least you see some improvements. That might be the problem with the HDG situation - I have not seen this.

    Regards
