April 23, 200422 yr Okay... first, I am a newbie to PMDG 737. So, perhaps I am missing something obvious, however, I 'thought' I thoroughly searched the manuals, but for the life of me, I cannot figure this one out.I am flying along enroute to my destination following my FMC, when I get a wild hair and decide to add a waypoint. Sometimes it works... sometimes... it doesnt. :(When I get all scrwed up and get spaghetti in my FMS, I simply want remove EVRERYTHING and re-insert my waypoints/route. But for some reason the FMC 'remembers' my screwed up points even though I try to erase them. I erase DISCOs and way points and approaches and somehow, they pop back in again.Is there a way to reboot the FMC in flight w/o turning off the PC?Any suggestions???Second question regarding the fuel/weight management program that I run before loading my MSFS 2002. Does it simply keep the last saved setting for all follow-on flights???ThanksMark
April 23, 200422 yr Mark,To get rid of all route related data, go to RTE PAGE 1/x, and press the DELETE key, then select LSK 1L, and then EXEC. This will remove destination, departure, and all waypoints. You can then proceed on entering a new route(at least, partially).

You>can then proceed on entering a new route(at least,>partially).That't how I do it too, but lately I have been unable to delete the route using the above steps -- instead of clearing the route, the FMC/CDU displays this message: "Program Error".Many times I complete a flight and then try to insert a new route at the ramp for my next leg, I press the DELETE key and then press the LSK 1L to clear the route in the ROUTE page, the "Program Error" message displays on the CDU and it does not clear the route.Is there anyway to perform a complete reboot of the FMC at the ramp without restarting the flight?Thank you in advance,Kerke
November 7, 200421 yr Insted of DELETE why not try inputting your departure ICAO? ICAO= NEW ROUTE= CLEARS OLD ONE= :-) Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J.
