Can't change STAR once selected

[andreadebiase]

I am not sure if this is normal but here is what is happening,  in the FMC when i select  a runway for departure (on the right side of the display)  and then a STAR (on the left side) I get stuck with that STAR and if i decide i want another STAR (still available in the menu of all possible STARs for that runway) I can't seem to change it. Is it me or else?

Hi,

If you're talking about departure then they are SIDs not STARs. :)

However, silly question but did you try to reselect the runway before selecting another SID? (Or switch to another rwy and back to the first runway).

You need to back out of the ROUTE completely and start your selection process again.

Hi. Sorry yes I meant Sid. Not star. Yes reselecting the runway (same or different one) doesn’t do it. I did not try to back out the route completely. What’s the best way to do this? Select another random destination and the again the desired one, is there a way  to reset/delete a route?

btw. I remember that this was not a problem until few months ago, meaning few updates ago (can’t tell which one with all the adds on)

PMDG have already posted in another recent thread that this is a known issue on their list. In my experience you can get around the problem if you create a complete route and activate it. Then the SID can be changed.
