FMC bug or not?

Featured Replies

I'm seriously loving the NGX, even if I was one to critisise the pricing structure, but I couldn't resist getting it so it's no issue anymore.What is an issue, major or minor I don't know yet, is something that's happened since SP1 and 600/700 installation.If I set up at an airport for a flight, load one of the panel state's from the FMC, the captains FMC locks up as soon as I hit the execute button.It will stay like this until I open the FMC on the 2d panel, close it from 2d and it is back to normal.I decided to leave it alone to see if it would clear itself, but 15 mins later it was the same way.I know this didn't happen before, so is this something on my end or has anyone else noticed this?Screenshot attached, FMC Issue 1.On a different topic, I've just tried to start a flight from PHNL to PANC with a generated flightplan from FSBuild.Real weather provided by Active Sky Evolution.Value's in KGS.

You can't use any pre SP1 saved panel states post SP1. Please take a look at the pinned posts above.

i sometimes get insufficient fuel but dosent bother me i just click clear on fmc but would be nice if it was fixed as it would save 2 seconds of my life

Few things that can effect insufficient fuel. First do you have any significant discos? Also what have you entered in the winds pages?

This is a fresh install of everything, nothing was kept from the old install, at least I think so.I deleted everything named PMDG before installing the new files.

I don't understand how they could be there after deleting everything and going for a fresh clean install?Does SP1 not remove old ones when it installs?If we need to delete then ourselves, surely the installer is not working correctly?

For your second problem, you must have an erroneous waypoint in there, if you notice your total mileage for the flight is 6509 nm, which seems a little far for that flight Shocked.gif Put your system into plan mode, and step through and see if you have a waypoint that shoots off the plan somewhere.

I've opened the PanelState folder and there is 8 options inside;NGX CLDDRK.fmcNGX CLDDRK.savNGX DEFAULT.fmcNGX DEFAULT.savNGX LONG.fmcNGX LONG.savNGX SHORT.fmcNGX SHORT.savI've saved nothing here so why the old ones are there, if they are, is one I don't understand.

Ok, please provide specific steps for the lock. From starting FSX through the lock. What aircraft, what airport, what panel state your loading, etc. I will give it a try.

How are you selecting aircraft from starting FSX? What aircraft? To troubleshoot need exact steps.

Ok.Starting FSX from the installed shortcut on my desktop, either direct or run as administrator.On suggestions from before SP1 I always load the Airport first.Then adjust time.Then load the Aircraft.Opening the select aircraft screen, I simply pick whichever NGX livery I want to use, in this case the ASA Lei livery.Click Fly now and wait for everything to load up, heavy AI user here so takes a minute or 2.Once everything is loaded and the green PMDG bar loads (20 seconds?)I open the FMC menu and select loan panel state, and pick the Short version.

Regards.

Alaska ETOPS birds have the same tanks as the rest of the fleet. The 900ERs aren't even being equipped with the extra tanks. Some bean counter said they weren't justified.As was previously noted, it looks like you have some extra waypoints in there. The length should be somewhere around 2517nm.

Just tried multiple combinations of aircraft including ASA livery at PHNL and everything worked fine. I don't have all of your add-ons so it is probably something with your specific configuration. Best recommendation for next step is for your to open a ticket with PMDG support and they will help determine what the specific conflict is.They will find the issue! biggrin.pngOne other thought, what are the dates and times of your short panel state files?
