April 8, 201412 yr I am so embarrassed, and ashamed. To this day....and I've been flight simming for 15 or more years....I HAVE NOT LEARNED HOW TO USE AN FMC! Why? I don't know. I'm lazy when it comes to this. I'm sure I could learn it and enjoy some of the fantastic aircraft that's available; however, I fly GA and passenger aircraft where I could use the default GPS. I promise (again) that I will take some time this Summer to take a tutorial and try to learn the Sids and the Stars and the wonderful things this autopilot can do. I feel compelled though, to confess. What in the h_ _ _ is wrong with me? Stan ps. Whew! Now I feel better.
April 8, 201412 yr Stan When you get round to learning the FMC this summer feel free to PM me with any questions
April 8, 201412 yr I'd recommend (if you have it) the PMDG NGX and its accompanying tutorials. Tutorial 1 is well done and for GA guys like us, all we need to know. The NGX can do a lot more but I done really care for my style of flying. Tutorial 2 has more advanced stuff. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

April 9, 201412 yr Commercial Member I can't spell, so I never spotted this terrible flaw in your personality. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com
April 9, 201412 yr Commercial Member I've crashed those. Recently after playing with the 777 a bit, I found I could take high altitude wind into consideration; didn't make much difference after that Curry. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com
April 9, 201412 yr Why must one learn to use an FMC? Many crashes in recent history boil down to one common set of factors... Over reliance on technology and a lack of good old stick and rudder skills. We don't go on YouTube to watch Trip7 captains do auto lands. We got there to watch them crab a jumbo in at a 45 and stick it on centerline like a boss with one ferocious kick of the rudder.
April 9, 201412 yr Yea, me too. I have been eyeballing the Majestic q400 along with the training offered by a 3rd party .. Airline2Sim or something like that. Maybe it is an age thing and the learning curve that scares me. I too should take a different direction on my flying skills just to see what this FMC stuff is all about. Tubing, Fly the wire, FMC, Vector me Victor. Anyway, I may have to give it a try. Bob Officially retired
