When using VNAV to fly a  STAR(then ILS) or RNAV approach the FMS turns onto the next waypoint well before it has reached the first one sometimes up to 5nm, because it does this the VNAV path has gone, as a result the aircraft is too high for landing on finals. I have not selected approach mode prior to this so the FMS is still in Nav mode. Anyone else having this problem or know of the cause.

I'll check this out when i get home from my japan trip- it could be when the FMS "smart turns" it affects the VNAV path calculation.

This is the same issue i have. I've just the topic in the official forum:

("2 issues i hope to be improved in the Pro Version")

 

Btw, Brendan, i just noticed that you live in EDTF - me too, so if you want you can just come over and i show you the "issue" live.... :lol:

Ah yes! I've since moved to PHNL however, but I go back to Germany a few times a year to visit University friends/family. We should go ins Aspekt, fals es noch da iss! GEL?

Thanks for the reply. I prefer to post problems in this forum it seems to get more responses.

We prefer that "technical issues" for which you require Majestic Support however be addressed on the Majestic forum...there is nothing wrong with posting here as you mentioned you can get great user feedback here as well, but we do not have a chance to browse through both forums everyday, so it may take longer to be addressed here.

 

Thanks 

Okay got that - do you want me to copy it over?

It is not a must....since one of our technical advisors is already looking into the situation that you mentioned.  But for the future....issues that you need technical assistane with should be posted at the Majestic site.  The Avsim site is a great place for general infomation as well, and you can post hear as well, as someone may have experienced the same issue/over-sight that you may have.

Thanks crosswind, having lot of problems grasping the FMS and VNAV setup and flying, (as opposed to AXE and NGX) read all your manuals, flown the trial flight, watched all the youtube vids...BUT...an in depth manual/tutorial from you guys might help out. The more I read other sources the more I get confused.

Any word on this i,m having the same issue. I looked on Majestic forum and could not find help on this issue.

Thanks,

My apologies for the delyed response.  This problem is something that we have been looking into and have added to the "to fix list" which has been sent out to the Beta team for testing.

Can any explain this problem with more clarity? Sorry I haven't a perfect English...

 

Mean that if I fly a STAR in VNAV, the aircraft won't be at the correct altitude to intercept the ILS?

This problem (early waypoint sequencing) has been mentioned several times both on the Majestic forum and here. It will activate the ILS approach at a specific point  at which time you have to switch back to NAV1 and hit APP to capture the loc and GS. However, especially on RNAV approaches the early waypoint sequencing can make RNAV's unflyable. I'll fly a few flights that will work well, but on my last flight on an RNAV approach it sequenced a waypoint turning final way way too early. LNAV remained engaged but the plane turned way off course and headed for the mountains. I was hoping this early waypoint sequencing issue would be addressed in version 1.008 but it remains a problem. As I stated on the Majestic forum long ago, this plane would not meet RNP specifications the way it works now. I'm tired of the FMC inconsistency with this model and it's benched until this long running issue is addressed.

No plans to fix it?
