Trivial I'm sure but..

KLAS-25R-COWBY1.DRK-COYOT1.DRK-25L-KPHXNot a preferred route I'm sure.Thanks again Randy.

Yeah I figured, I haven't really setup the NG yet.

Ok here this looks much BETTER ;-) KLAS-25R-COWBY1.DRK-COYOT1.DRK-"FIXAR TRANS" 25L-KPHX Just CONNECT the DISCON between MAHEM and FIXAR by typing FIXAR into the box prompt. Now your departure should look like this (see pic) on the ND. http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/73443.jpg [h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

How about telling the guy to remove the disco between the the last waypoint and the STAR (IAF). After insertion of the star go back to the waypoints page and be sure you dont have any discos there.Hope this helpsHenrik

I've tried that also guys.Randy...I have no problems with the DP btw, just the end of the STAR and the IAF.Thanks.

[Guest Buck Bolduc]

Anoyher way that I found that works to remove a disco. Sometimes I just hit the delete key on the fmc, "DELETE" appeares in the scratchpad, then hit the LSK with the disco.Regards

I'll try again tonight. I have a feeling that it's going to a waypoint that's not the IAF but one that's closer in like the FAF.Thanks to all :-)

Hi there.I am not familiar with the airport at all, but I had a quick look into the charts for the COYOT1 star and the IAP for ILS25L. The STAR chart state that ".... From over BRUSR INT via PXR R-336 to PXR VORTAC. After BRUSR INT, expect radar vectors to final approach course."Also from what I can see the PXR VOR is located just about at the MAP point to rwy 27. In the IAP for 27L there's no transition either from PXR to the IAF point, so I guess the approach is based on the heading to PXR and then radar vectors, as stated, BEFORE you reach the PXR VOR. Maybe you could try another STAR that will match the app to 25L? Or you can cheat a little here, and make a fix in the FMC on the trk to PXR....say 15NM before PXR(as a radar vector to IAF) Then delete the PXR. Maybe some more fixes to make a smooth transition, just a thought.

Jeff, Maybe I was not clear enough, I gave you the last leg. Load your route but after selection of the rwy CHOOSE the FIXAR TRANSITION. Then all you need to do is close the discon beween MAYHEM and FIXAR by simply placing FIXAR into the BOXES on the LEGS page! Review it it has a great turn to final all in vnav and you will hit LOC perfectly ;)[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

If you're still having trouble with making the FMC calculate your route properly, I strongly suggest you check out the Advanced Tutorial on the PMDG site. It will walk you through how to program the FMC to do exactly what you're trying to do; sometimes it's easier and more effective to learn on your own then have someone tell you how to do it on a case-by-case basis. :(Nick

I was trying the advanced tutorial. FS keeps crashing. Keep in mind I'm running a freakin' nuclear power plant for a computer. I think the more systems I use in the NG it's just eating my resources.P 3.2 HT 800 FSB, 2g sd ddr, 120gb raid 0 hd's, 256mb ATI Radeon 9800XT Pro, 20.1" ultrasharp, SB Audigy 2. -- You know the rest.This is the first time I've actually tried going through the NG from start to finish. I couldn't even make it through setting the V speeds using the manual selector the first crash.Very strange. Anyways, time for bed now....gotta work in the morning. Thanks to all who have responded, I'll try again later when I have more time.P.S. I think I can correct the FMC routing when I get to that phase again. I'm sure there is some route disco somewhere or a misplaced waypoint. I'll try on a straght in STAR into LAX next time I re-load.Thanks again.
