Hi all,I have a problem with the 744 which is very annoying..when I insert a new leg / route into the FMC, the screen goes black for a few secs before displaying the updated route. The longer the route, the longer it takes to return from the black screen. :(Is there a solution to this? Thanks,D.

>Is there a solution to this? No, the 744 FMC is actually exactly as slow in reality. PMDG even modelled this behavior. Actually i don't think it really depends on how long the route is, it's always about 4 seconds if you execute something.Best "solution": Only hit the EXEC button, if you really need to ;)

Hi Andreas,Thanks! I never realised that! Not a frequent 744 flyer..prefer the 737 :-)Thanks for the info and tip!D.

It is done on purpose and even the PMDG's FMC is faster compared the real FMC in regards to long flight routes..Best,Randy J. Smith

"Actually i don't think it really depends on how long the route is, it's always about 4 seconds if you execute something."It does on the real aircraft ;) Haven't checked it in PMDGCheers.Q>
