I just took the time yesterday to learn howto manually add routes into the FMC and it wasn't as hard as I tought it would be(I actually enjoyed doing it)..

But I don't know howto add climb, cruise and descent altitudes. Anyone know any good youtube tutorials that explain howto add them..(I learn easier with video tutorials as I have  my laptop running the video while fiddling with the plane on the desktop. I hate manuals)

 

The tutorials I found only covered howto add the waypoints... So when I fly them I have to manually adjust altitudes...

The FMC can not make you climb. You can enter altitudes and Flight Levels by presing the right buttons. But VNAV only goes down

Ah ok thanks, maybe I'll have to dive into the manuals to get VNAV set up right.

Not sure if you've seen this yet, but this may be of a little help setting up VNAV: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/405850-quick-little-tutorial-for-those-in-trouble-with-vnav-descents/

I suppose  you seen  this  quick video on a simple set up of  the fmc
