MD11 FMS questions about waypoint edit

Featured Replies

Hello fellow simmers,after the tutorialflight and a few homemade flights with the MD11 in FSX I have a few questions about the FMs and one other Question as well. First how can I clean the FMs from all old flights? For example I plan a short hop from EDDF to EDDH and want to insert the waypoints myself. I type in flight from EDDF/EDDH. It shows my old companyroute that I made before. I suggest to ignore it and go on with the flihtplaning. It then shows EDDF ----Flightplan discunity-----EDDH........EDDF ----Flightplan discunity-----........EDDF ----Flightplan discunity----- and so on. two pages!! So is there a way to clean the FMs and start from the beginning? So next question I touch the EDDFbutton and then insert next waypoint MARUN, touch MARUN and enter next waypoint UVANO and so on. Finally i come to the last one before EDDH its NOLGO. There the FMS shows me 256/4946 feet. I need it like for example 220/4000 feet. BUT no way to edit this for me. Is it possible? Third Question if I make a mistake is there a way to erase the Flightplan without restarting the Flightsim? And my last other Question, it says in the Handbook that users of widescreendisplays can get a bigger 2D Panel. That does not work for me. The box where i can edit it in the Loadmanager is there but I cant change annything there. I use the MD11 FSX version CD with update on a FSX Version with all updates. Monitor is a W2452T from LG BUT working System is windows7, maybe that is the problem.Thankyou for answering my questions.Uwe Bestmann

Hello, Uwe, here we go"t then shows EDDF ----Flightplan discunity-----EDDH........EDDF ----Flightplan discunity-----........EDDF ----Flightplan discunity----- and so on. two pages!! So is there a way to clean the FMs and start from the beginning?"1. Its normal to see that, you start by selecting the first EDDF and select the departure runway and/or SID and press INSERT."So next question I touch the EDDFbutton and then insert next waypoint MARUN, touch MARUN and enter next waypoint UVANO and so on."2. Heres a little shortcut, theres no need to select the waypoints, just enter the next waypoint below the last one."Finally i come to the last one before EDDH its NOLGO. There the FMS shows me 256/4946 feet. I need it like for example 220/4000 feet. BUT no way to edit this for me. Is it possible?"3. Select the key on the right side of the CDU abeam 256/4946ft, there you will access the VERT REV page and you can make the changes there."Third Question if I make a mistake is there a way to erase the Flightplan without restarting the Flightsim?"4. Just re-enter the departure and destination airports on the INIT page."And my last other Question, it says in the Handbook that users of widescreendisplays can get a bigger 2D Panel. That does not work for me. The box where i can edit it in the Loadmanager is there but I cant change annything there."5. Search the forum, i think that was asked a couple times before, i think it may be a "write permission" thingy or something.

"People depend so much on automation that they forget how to get the automation to work." B.W.

I can't add much to Bryan's good response but it helps to think of the LAT REV operation as a form of the paste method. Whatever you enter into the AIRWAYS, NEXT WPT or SID/STAR screens are pasted into the flight plan at the point where you entered LAT REV. SIDs/RNWs are enterered from the origin, and STARs/ARRIVALs are entered at fix before the destination. The CLR will resolve most disconntinuities by simply deleting them, if it can resolve the route.After you build the flight plan, review in on the ND in PLN mode to verify each segment.Hope it helps.
