January 7, 201016 yr Hi all,I asked this question first on the Captain Sim forums but didn't get any response back so I am throwing the question out here to see if anybody will take a shot at the answer:I do quite a few flights from KSEA to KMSO or KFCA(which is now KGPI). Normally, I follow the MLP STAR for an ILS11 landing in KMSO. I would like to try the RNAV11-Y approach using the TERZO transition to set me down on R11. I selected my RNAV(radio navigation) approach in the FMC on the dep/arrival page and instead of selecting an ILS11 approach I select RNAV but I don't see the new waypoints on the NAV display nor do I see them on the FMC. Is this normal behavior and do I need to program the route manually? The RNAV approaches do appear on the dep/arrival but it doesn't populate the waypoints into the FMC or NAV display. Scott KGPI
January 7, 201016 yr I assume you're trying it with one of the Captain Sim birds. You are right in assuming that loading an RNAV approach in the FMS should load the waypoints. I gave it a try in the CS757, and sure enough it doesn't work. I tried it in the LDS 767 and the approach showed up exactly as it should. I'm not sure if it's a bug in the CS757 or in the navigraph fms data. I've got cycle 0912.Fun approach, though. I'd never tried Missoula before - thanks for bringing it to my attention.

January 7, 201016 yr It's the 757 for me (I suspect the fmc is pretty much identical code, though), but I haven't tried any other RNAV approaches recently in the CS757. I don't fly it that much these days, and I usually do the traditional navigation approaches. I'll try shooting a few and see.
January 7, 201016 yr I've tried to load a few more, but no joy. I'm not sure if this is Captain Sim's fault, or Navigraph's. It might be worth mentioning on the Navigraph support forum. I didn't see any posts there about it, but I only did a cursory search.
