747-8i Approach Brief Problem

[vc10man 732]

Hi Bryan. Great add-on this, Button Version, updated to latest, to augment the Button Version I was using previously with the QOTSII.

But same issue I encountered there, namely that when trying to to the Descent Checklist, the 2nd page that takes me to the Approach Brief, flags up in red, saying something like data not available, yet I have punched in the Vref data in the FMC, etc. Everything else works perfect, except starting  that Approach Brief. Departure Brief works fine.

Hi Rick,

Thanks!  Glad you like it!

See the "Red" lines on Approach Brief (1).

You need put numbers in their fields using the keypad on the FS2Crew panel.

The line will turn white if you've done it right.

You can find the values you need off your approach plate.

Cheers,

Thanks Bryan.

Will try that tonight when I get back to the sim PC at home.

Rest, top marks to you and your development team. Wish you could do one for the latest CaptSim's better output, the 757-200 III that everyone seems to give  thumbs-up to. But I guess that's a pipe-dream...........No harm asking, though.😆

Managed to sort it out, Bryan. Now have that Approach Brief, which I will be running in an hour's time on descent into KPHX.

Thanks for the tip.
