January 1, 20215 yr I re-did my flight from YAYE to YSSY with a successful outcome, so here are the screenshots as I approached Sydney. The FMC acted a bit strange - to me anyway, but I'll probably pose the question in the flight planning forum. I suspect it is down to my lack of understanding. I didn't have the plan loaded into FSX itself so I did not have ATC vectoring me around. I just wanted to see the FMC in action and deal with the fact that the 146-100 doesn't have a VNAV autopilot function. Here I am, following some kind of descent profile for an approach to RWY34L. I ended up landing with a bit of a tailwind as, by the time I got to Sydney, the METAR had changed. I left the FMC well alone. Whilst the AP managed to intercept the localiser nicely, it didn't want to pick up the glideslope, However as soon as I saw the runway I switched it off anyway. Thanks to the clamshell airbrake, being high wasn't that big a deal There we go! Shutdown... and... Oi !! Where's my stairs and ground support equipment??!! Stupid bloody Galahs !!

January 5, 20215 yr Glad, Mark, this time, you got it working end-to-end w/o CTD... If you wish you can easily load a FPLN into the (146) FMC after placing the FPLN, first, in [\FSX\Qualitywings\FlightPlans] directory...(That might make things a bit easier)... And, when you get to fly the Avro Series, I recall, unlike the 146, it will also give the nice ND display of the Route... Take your time and have fun with it. It's a great collection of (SIM) aircraft...!!
