Hi everyone,First of, I would like to thanks everyone who proposed the E-Jets 175 / 195 from FeelThere. It's a pleasure to fly!Now, my question is, and i believe it's really a matter of opinion here:- How many of you really takes 15-20 mins (more in my case!!!) to program the FMS / MCDU instead of just going IFR / VFR manually?I feel it's a waste of time, and once it's done, you have no much more to do except to watch the progress of your flight...Your take on that?Thanks, best regards

Pre-flighting and preparing the FMC only takes a few moments for me. After some practice, you'll get very good at it! To the point where adding amendments to the flight plan received by clearance on VATSIM is a non-event.Which leads to VATSIM. That will make you feel like your flights have some purpose.

A lot of airways are RNAV only so you have no choice but to enter them on the FMS CDU. (or the Garmins/KLNs if you're flying GA) Real pilots can load a CO RTE via stored databases or wireless datalink. FSBuild can do the same for your Wilco E-jet addons.
