Is it possible to completely 'dump' the current route programmed into the FMC when the aircraft is airborne and start over from scratch? I'd like to be able to save a flight to practice approaches and takeoffs, ect, and I am having trouble with the PMDG FMC in these instances.For example, I save an airborne flight through FS2004 on final approach. When I reset this saved flight the 737 is restarts on the saved airborne position but the FMC is 'dumped" and the route is empty. I can't program in a new route at all to get approach flap settings; the PMDG FMC will accept a destination in this circumstance but won't accept a landing runway and I cannot get approach flap settings or execute a route, ect. I've tried to program in a departure point while airborne in this situation but the FMC won't accept it, only a destination. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.PS: SU2 looks awesome so far, I appreciate PMDG's committment in upgrading and enhancing their product!!!

The ability to *change* the ORIGIN ICAO in the air (thus clearing the active route) is inhibited in flight. But this really is not your question, your question pertains to the ablity to load a saved flight with the gauges in memory. This is being look at but we will not see a change for this prior to SU2, it is a bit more complicated...[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/196432/winglets_lg.jpg

Thanks Randy. Do you know if there is a way to program a 'blank' FMC inflight to have just a usable destination and get it to accept enough information to calculate VREF and a flaps extension schedule? This is really what I'm interested in. This way I could start up a saved flight, punch in the relevant data and be set up for an approach for practice, ect, if this is possible.

"Do you know if there is a way to program a 'blank' FMC inflight to have just a usable destination and get it to accept enough information to calculate VREF and a flaps extension schedule?"From what PMDG have said, James, it is possible, but I think a few of us are having problems with this (including myself).I can insert a DEST ICAO, but I can't enter anything in the LEGS page (I get INVALID ENTRY, or something like that). I have similar problems with the performance stuff, too.I'm hoping SU-2 will overwrite what's wrong with my FMC... I've already tried several reinstalls of the original files with no improvement.As a few people are having identical problems, I can't see it being a corrupt download(???).Cheers.Ian.

Ian, I'm having the exact same problems - cannot get a blanked out FMC to accept anything but a destination ICAO. Like you I'm hoping SU2 might perhaps be able to address this issue.
