August 8, 201114 yr I was loading the tutorial and when I got to the point of selecting the runway (8R) at Gatwick into the FMC the tutorial says that it should display on the ND. Mine didn't. I've started from scratch several times to no avail. Everything else seems fine. Any ideas? Ted Belden Ted Belden

August 8, 201114 yr What I couldn't find in the printed manuals is a step by step instruction on how to start up the 737 from a cold dark cockpit. Lucky I know enough about these planes and got it, but besides the dideo in Youtube, there is really nothing - the tutorial doesn't get into this. Paul Gugliotta
August 8, 201114 yr I think that's Tutorial 2. This one is how to fly it. Doug Orvis PP-ASEL-IA (USA), Based at KHEF Picture courtesy of Kyle Rodgers

Both are FCOM 1.
August 8, 201114 yr Author May be silly question, but was the ND in " Mapmode" ? EricYes it was and is. To be sure it actually says "Map" on the ND, right? Ted Ted Belden
August 8, 201114 yr Ted,You shouldn't get "map" on the ND when everything is running smoothly. Just based on that, it almost sounds to me like your IRS isn't aligned. Can you post a picture of your panel after you've selected the runway? It might make this a bit easier to figure out.

And yes I agree that it might be an IRS alignment problem Ted Belden

August 8, 201114 yr Author The problem was that FSX didn't load the aircraft with engines running. It instead loaded with ground power connected. Once I got everything running it went just fine. Ted Belden
