FMC in MD11 and 747

Featured Replies

Hello,I have a question but difficult to explain.If I program a flight in the FMC of the 747 (I use exportfunction fsbuilt) it is always completely ok. Sometimes some discontinues, but stars and trans are always good programmed by the FMCIn the MD11 however, most of the time I have to reorganise the route when I get to the star. And if I use a transition it is sometimes a complete mess.(sometimes you have to fly 3 time over the airport)Is this normal. I mean is the FMC in the 747 beter or less complex so it gives always the right route and star?Or is the FMC in the MD11 more realistic. Do pilots have to correct the route in real life?Or maybe, can't I use the exportfunction of fsbuilt for the MD11. (I don't include sid and stars in fsbuilt)Maybe someone who can help me with this (not a big) problem) . Just want to knowbest regards

Eric, the same flightplan rte file that works in the 737/747 should work in the MD11. Using the FMS is different but the saved flight plan is the same.It could be due to a difference in the navdata used by your flight planner and the data in the pmdg folders. As a rule, I never add the departures and arrivals to a flight plan using a flight planner but add those after the flightplan is loaded into the FMS. This ensures I am using current data (and using custom procedures you might get from a variety of sources). I recommend you try this.
