I must be overlooking something, I have power,I have dual fmc restored and I have the basic map display,I have alligned the IRS and i have copied the position and placed them in the empty boxes but still nothing on the map display except for the basic display itself. And yes I do have the departure and arriving airports entered in I wish I knew how to create a screen shot and post it for a visual ref.

have you entered the sid and flight plan and star as well

The flight plan includes SIDs, STARs, enroute waypoints, airways etc... DEP and ARR airports says nothing as long as you don't tell the FMC the route (doesn't work like a car GPS that finds the route).

 

I suggest you read the first tutorial that comes with the plane and some other tutorial available all over the net.

 

After that you might consider the use of planning tools (free or not) that make this easier.

I had the same problem. The cause came from position IRS copied starting from the last position which did not correspond to the current position of the plane. The last position did not correspond to the current position.

I use a French/English translator for the answer

Thank You Mimid, Yep I did not have any problems with it before untill recently .

Yep I entered the sids and the stars both, I've got a quirk in the system somewhere.
