I have created a 'startup' situation in FSX with the plane parked at Heathrow and only the APU running.However, when opening the FMGC to create a new flightplan, the one from the last flight is still loaded and I cannot find a way to clear it and start again.(On the INIT page, I cannot clear (CLR) or overwrite the from/to line, route, etc.....)Am I missing something obvious?Thanks for any ideas.Toni.

Im not to familiar with the airbuses FMGC, but with the boeings FMC if you just put a new ICAO code into the from/to line then it should just overwrite the earlier state. Im sure that the FMGC is very much the same in that regard

Thanks, but unfortunately your suggestion doesn't work....On the INIT page, I tried entering EGLL/EHAM on the From/To line, and all I got was "NOT IN DATABASE".Toni

Generally, I understand your desire for such a default situation, but as for any complex airliner add-on goes it's not a great idea to do so due to FS limitations.Better: Make up a default flight using a very simple stock aircraft (doesn't really matter if C172 or B747, just should be stock or non complex add-on, but take a stock one to be on the safe side, seriously, since you never know...). Then load up FS with that situation. Afterwards, load up your favourite complex add-on, whatever it is. Should save you lots of trouble anyways, generally speaking.Just a suggestion. Good luck! :(Etienne

hiyou MUST have a cold and dark situation to start the bus, so turn off APU and batterie switches first. This will blank the INIT FMGC pagesthen turn bat. and APU on : the FMGC is ready for a new flightBut, usualy, you can simply overwrite the departure/arrival field in the INIT A with correct airport tags, no matter the starting situation...
