Hi,

You have to make sure the aircraft AIRAC Cycle (NavData Set) is on the same Cycle as the set used by the planner that makes the file.

Thats Simbrief job? Or that is something i need to do manually on fmc?

You can manually enter route in your FMC should you wish to do so. But in real life most airlines have company routes that they just select and load.

The route is automatically set when im loading the flightplan i made from simbrief. The Depature and Dest i think its called is already entered. I just need to enter origin. I entered OMDB, and you dont need to enter gate. But i dont get any route to follow on pfd?

is there possibly a gap between OMDB and your route? Anyway, it should not affect the PFD.

 

There is countless reasons your PFD does not show the route, as I don't know what you are doing, I cannot know. Is your PFD set to the right source? Is the IRS properly aligned? Are you sure you executed your route on the FMC?

Well i have flied Captain Sim products many times. And i have not yet learned how to fully autoland, its easier when im manually approaching and landnig But i make a flight plan vor to vor with fsx. I set the cruise Altitude to 32000 feets. Im loading the made flightplan with example a captain sim 757 airplane fmc. And everything works, and yes the fmc gives a message, that i need to set irs position, but the route is still working? I ignore the message, because i never learned what irs position is. 

 

But back to PMDG, im not starting cool and dark. Im starting with the engines and everything on, and just disabling the engines. And starting the APU again etc. That thingy´s where you can set to allign or nav, are set to nav. When chosing the flightplan i made with simbrief, i click exec. And on the pfd the Dubai airport pops up as a small white mark. But no route. But the fmc is not saying here that i miss something.

IRS is always on Boeing airplanes, at the top of the overhead to the left. You turn these knobs to nav and system starts initializing.

 

Captain Sim is not complex airplane, you can pull out a lot of stunts that are practically impossible in real life. Their 757 is rushed and very buggy. 737NGX on the other hand, is very simulated, almost on par with Project Tupolev, and has a completely new level deal of realism than 757. Which is why there is more complications, which are part of the fun.

 

This might sound like a silly theory, but is your range on the PFD large enough to see the first waypoint?

 

I suggest you to watch a youtube tutorial on programming FMC for 737NGX, to see if you've missed any steps. I do not know your procedure for programming it nor if you do it correct. So I'm not sure what is the problem

It´s set to 40 or something.

 

But that doesn't matter, becuase none of the lnav og vnav want to engage.

 

 

EDIT: That said, I don't know of a free one that can generate plans to the PMDG FMS format which appears to be what the OP's asking for.

Simbrief and Simroutes are free and both have the facility to save a flight plan in PMDG format. They are online resources of course, but if the OP is able to come here and ask questions then they can go to these free sites and get flight plans for the NGX.

You get your latest AIRAC from NavDataPro or Navigraph, and when you do, make sure to update all your addons at the same time that use an AIRAC NavData set.

We have seen a video, and we did everything right with my friend. We set route and dest etc, and irs position. Flaps on takeoff, just eveything. And everything works, just not the lnav and vnav functions, and no route on the pfd. So i need to buy another program to get the route to work in this?

>>no route on the pfd

 

So you made a copy of a.rte file in the ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\FLIGHTPLANS folder and loaded it via the co-route function and no route appears in the display? Perhaps the file isn't the right type. I would look to use at least a PMDG .rte v3 file format with the 737.

You don't have to buy anything else. You can try to enter route manually. Once again, try to fly tutorial 1 and 2.

Hi math341c,

 

I have both FSBuild & vroute premium, and to be honest I find that I use vroute more than FSBuild, as vroute premium can create & export flightplans for many aircraft including the PMDG ones directly from the planning tab & this is the main reason that I use it,  I think a trial version is available for download.

 

Kind regards,

Dave.

I have readed all the last 3 posts, thanks for help. I think about to buy one of these, the navdatapro looks most professional for me. But what will i need to do. First make route with simbrief or an flightplanmaker like fsc and export the rte to the navdatapro? And i just have to click once on mouse and the program will set the navdata for me?

Sorry i first understanded you post fully right now. Yes thats what i did. But the file is the right type. I selected pmdg flightplan in simbrief.
