737 - under approach i dont get any vref on speed tape

Featured Replies

On my pmdg 737 i dont get any flap vref speeds on the speedtape under my approach. I guess if i set my grossweight and my approach speed then there should come some flap speed indicators on the speed tape, right?If i select the vref on the speed switch the panel says "Invalid" - what do you think i'm doing wrong?

FMS User's Manual Page 8-48: Are you setting flaps preset? Note you have to select a Vref for it to appear on the speed tape.

Yes i did select a vref on approach page. But besides that shoudn't show also the flap 1,2,5,10 etc. minimums on the speed tape as small yelow lines?

The selection must be made in the APPROACH page of the FMC. You will normally have just two options fo the 737 :Flaps 30 or 40. (Normally flaps 30 except for short, wet or contaminated runways). Nothing to care about the speed, the FMC will calculate and constantly update it for you depending on your current weight.Once selected, the green flap marks will be transferred to your PFD speedtape.

as mentioned i did select it in the approach page, but no marks are shown - what could be wrong, a bug - or?

Do you have an approach or runway selected?

I have had limited success flying consequtive flights within a session, seems to work best if you re-load or restart FS9. Usually, the problems I had were during departures. Might be an old bug in there. STAR isn't required.

As described in the manual, you will only see then next flap position and vref. Your not seeing either of these? A screen shot would be helpful as well.
