How to use NGX 737 FMC?

[Mirakledba 0]

Good day!

 

I recently bought the NGX 737 and I love it! I have 2 questions regarding it.

 

 

1 - Auto Pilot. I Came from using the stock 737 in FSX so I dont know what the LNAV AND VNAV do...I see everyone uses it in ILS landings but Im using to using VLOC and APP.

Somotimes I click LNAV AND VNAV and i dont get a green light saying its been activated...so, how do I use auto pilot for ILS landings (NOT AUTO LAND) in the NGX 737? On a side note...where is the NAV/GPS switch so i can pick which one to use?

 

2 - FMC.....All i know is to set fuel, ground connections and a few other things like putting in the air port but i dont know the waypoint part since I never have any....I need to know how to use the FMC so it can tell me when to put my flaps and speed and all that.... Please send a link of a video or anything useful that teaches this. Its almost impossible to have a real flight without it. PLEASE give me a good starter flight plan for this so I can learn and last thing, SIDS, I dont even know where to find mine or what it is.

 

 

 

 

Thank you In advance

Read the manuals bundled with the product and fly the tutorial flight. You'll learn a bunch about the aircraft!

Please tell a mod to come delete my reposts of this. DID NOT mean to do so. It just said service failed and turns out it was working. 

 

Thanks

You cannot fly ILS via LNAV/VNAV. Theo only way to fly ILS automatically is to use APP mode on autopilot mode control panel.

 

There's no NAV/GPS switch in 737, as there is no separate GPS receiver. All equipment is integrated in FMC. Instead, there is different modes at mode contol panel that would help you to use FMC equipment or radio NAV equipment.

 

LNAV/VNAV do not engage when you fail to set up FMC properly.

 

I too suggest you to read introduction manual and tutorial flight documents you got with the aircraft. In tutorial flights you can learn normal operations quickly.

 

Additionally, there are tutorial videos at YT, made by community and payware training videos.
