Ok Guys,I guess I found the problem why the airplane is not tracking to the first wpt or is making turns after t.o. instead to stay on lnav. This happened to me also a few times and is related when you select a SID, sometime SIDs are created from the rwy position threshold or not, here is the problem. When you push toga FMC updates position to rwy landing threshold or position shift point is GPS updating is not active. I found that if you activate direct to the first wpt before t.o. this situation not following the magenta does not occur.Would you guys with these kind of complains try first direct to 1st wpt and see if that fixes the problem.

Please copy the files appropriately lrbs.rte in PMDG/FLIGHTPLANS, LRBS.SAV IN pmdg/747400/PanelState And first t.o. do not update direct to 1st wpt and you will notice the airplane going in circles. For the 2nd t.o. before toga, activate direct to first wpt and after t.o. speed intervene @ 180 kts ias for the turn and see how nice LNAV will work. Comments are welcome.

I found that if you activate direct to the first wpt before t.o. this situation not following the magenta does not occur. Hello Alex ;P, I also found that a DIR TO after TO worked also, at least on my flight. [h4]Randy J.

Alex, it would real helpful to me if u describe in a little detail what u said in ur post....what do u mean by "When you push toga FMC updates position to rwy landing threshold or position shift point is GPS updating is not active. I found that if you activate direct to the first wpt before t.o. this situation not following the magenta does not occur."ibrahim

I will try to keep it as simple as possible (unfortunately you need to read the Automatic Flight section about to/ga). When you hit to/ga basically you

got it :) thanx for the hand.ibrahim

Dave,Please send me all the files related to that flight with the info where is the problem.I would like to give it a try, maybe we can pinpoint the [email protected]

Hi Alex,Thanks for your patience,i won't be able to do any testing until near or after the coming weekend,due to shifts at work,then i can let you have the relevant details.Regards Dave
