Hello all, I just got back into Flight Simulator to practice for flight training and really want to master the FMC for future dealings. I've read the manual for the FMC that came with the iFly 747 and have found it to be inadaquete in allowing me to set up a transatlantic flight (i.e. KJFK-EDDF) using GPS navigation via autopilot. I'd really like to master the FMC where I can fly SIDS out of the New York area into cruise Flt using GPS, but I feel the manual still leaves me in the dark on how to do this. For me, I learn well reading tutorials or sample flights that I can use with other routes, fuels, weights, etc.I know many of you are much more skilled than I am at these sorts of things, but I would really appreciate some sort of help setting it up. The manual, I believe, assumes the user has more knowledge than it should...Anyway, I'm asking if anyone has enough time or is willing to help me by writing out a good tutorial for setting up a flight using the FMC. You'd be unprecedented in your explanation, as I've seen no information online that explains the FMC in detail. This would probably help out many more people besides myself I'm sure.

This may or may not help, but maybe try downloading other manuals and read the sections for the FMC in them. It might give you a better understanding of how a FMC works.Here are two good manuals to browse.http://www.precisionmanuals.com/html/downloads/docs.htm Click on "747-400 Queen of the skies" to download.http://www.leveldsim.com/sevensix_downloads.asp Click on "Click here to download (2.4MB)"Lee
