Hi,

 

In the NGX changing altitude on LEGS Page is rather easy but not in the T7. It was the same before SP1 so i dont understand why i cant change a specific waypoint from FL340 to for instance FL350 ?

 

I thought it has something to do with my MAX FL but it says 351.

 

Also Step To (FL360) does not work as in the NGX so what should i do ?

 

Change the CRZ ALT on page 2/3 in the CRZ Page ? This is not very proactive (forth planning)

It was said by the devs, that unlike the NGX you have to enter both SPEED/ALTITUDE at once. The 737 FMC is in some points more advanced than the one of the 777.

 

Don't know how to preselect a step climb. I always wait till the FMC tells me to do one. I then dial the new FL into the MCP and push the rotary knob.

There's a reason there's a note in the intro manual reminding people that the 777 is not the NG...  :wink:

 

Note that on the 777 you enter a STEP SIZE on the PERF INIT page.  On the 737, you don't - you have to tell it the next altitude to step to on the VNAV CRZ page.  The 777 handles this automatically, unless you enter a step size of zero.

 

You can't change a specific waypoint from FL340 to FL350 for a couple reasons:

1. A step size of RVSM (default) will expect 2000 or 4000 foot increments - this is how cruise levels work for the majority of the world.
2. If you're going to force a step, you follow it up with S.  So, to force a step climb from FL340 to FL360, you would enter FL360S at whatever waypoint you wanted to step.

Sounds like you haven't completed the tutorial.  You should.

Thanks Kyle and yes i must admit, allthough i did look into the tutorial 3 times i did not see it. My mistake ....again. God i am glad i am just an amatuer FSX pilot.  

 

Thank you so much again.  ^_^

 

btw. which pages did i miss in the tutorial ? (THe CTRL+F and Step climbs did not help)
