July 25, 200421 yr I seem to be getting the hang of the FMC, except when I want to delete something that has a Disco in it. This usually happens when I load an arrival runway and select an arrival procedure that the FMC doesn't like. Then it seems like Poltergiest, and I can't delete it or anything after it no matter what I do. For instance, I flew into an airport today and wanted to fly back out of the same airport, but didn't want to restart FS9. I tried to Intialize the FMC, but it not let me delete anything that was after the Disco, or missed approach info, no matter what I did. Is there not one button that can be pressed to start over again with the FMC. I cannot seem to find anything on this subject, on any of the many tutorials I have read. Any info would be appreciated.

I tried to Intialize the FMC Hello Bob, If you continue reading the manuals you will come to a piece on ROUTE REVERSING that does exactly what you are talking about here. I suggest further FMC reading upon DICONS and exactly why they happen. It's not that the FMC "doesn't like", it's because there is a way it excepts information and a understanding of the person inputing the route on what will and will not create a DISCON and how to connect their route in these situations.

July 25, 200421 yr Commercial Member Bob-Following up with Randy's post:Randy is correct that the route reversal function is precisely what you are looking for in this situation- but I thought I should mention that it appears that the route reversal function works, but is not entirely without flaws...I know that Anthony is working on a few items that have popped up related ot the route reversal function....Just thought you should should know...
