FMS setup

[lgabriel 1]

Small issue with the Maddog X fms not showing altitude and speed on legs after route entry, no ability to enter save flight plan from Simbrief.

Suggestions? Running Prepar3D v4.2

Thanks for the help.

Did you go all the way thru the FMS Preflight to include entering your peformance data?

[lgabriel 1]

I completed all fields just as I would when programming the PMDG 737NGX FMS.

You are missing something. fuel entry? gross weight?

[lgabriel 1]

All fields were populated, fuel, weight, reserve, index,vspeeds, and all legs entered accounding to flight plan just as the Maddog X You-Tude tutorial shows, but still not altitude or speed data after loading.

Never seen this issue before.  If you think its a bug put in a ticket. Other than ensuring you have all the applicable data fields filled out there should be no reason everything shouldn't be populated.

Followup question while I'm working on the FMS programming, is there any flight planner that exports the Maddog X .mdr file format, when I use SimBrief and save to the route folder the fms does show the file as a company route.

Thanks again

That's strange, been working for me and others for a very long time.  Once entered into COROUTE it should pop right into the Route Page.  Where are you placing the file SimBrief created?

Thanks Dave,

i’m Placing it in tha Maddog X route folder under my documents, is this not the correct location?

another FMC issue with FSX, LRC shows sometimes a M 0.83 cruise. How can that be on an Aircraft whos maximum speed is M 0.78?

Interesting. This is the first time I've seen that.

Okay, let's take this from the top.

Sim Version?

AIRAC in use by SimBrief?

AIRAC shown in the Maddog CDU?

Entering aircraft position and Lattitude?

Entering COROUTE as airport ICAOs?  Example: "KPHLKBOS"?

Can you please upload your SimBrief file and give me a link for it?

Dave,

Thanks for your help, I have it working now,,,seems it was cockpit error, I was expecting it  to work  the same as the PMDG, that by pressing the LSKL3 button that the window file location would open and you would select the file wanted...dumb me. I now type in the file name and it works fine.

Thanks again, now on to some other learning experience.

You are most welcome, happy you've got it working!

Best wishes for Happy Flights!
