September 3, 201015 yr No doubt I didn't read the manual/tutorial as good as I should, but before starting the engines, the tutorial tells me to shut off the avionic switches.After starting the engines i have to switch them on.When i do so the FMS stops working and i can start over again. If I don't switch off avionics and start the engine the same happens. The FMS switches off and I can reprogram it again.Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong.Thanks for helpingEric Eric van Dorp
