When using RC 2.2 with Dreamfleet's 737 I take off, Departure climbs me straight out but it is several minutes and many miles before I am told to contact Center, and then Center tells me to go to cruise altitude and "resume own navigation". My FMC is configured and ready to go and I am not using a SID or D/P. I seem to go unrealistically out of my way (about 20 or 30 miles) before I'm given the OK to backtrack to get on my correct FMC airway. My flight is from AVP-PIT, and AVP has very little traffic that would possibly cause a departure delay. In real life I know AVP's Departure turns the plane toward the airway intercept right after takeoff (Victor 147). Can I get Depar. to vector me quicker? Thanks. :-wave

you could put a departure procedure in the flight plan. that might help. otherwise, consider it a sightseeing tour LOL
