Actually Allan C. says that during descent briefing: "At the moment we are routing direct to Point Reyes..."

Just a small few remarks: this video was shot in 2000 not 2005 so it's hard to tell if airac from Aug. 05 won't introduce any discrepancies. Is your fuel total about the same at the time when Allan R. describes the FMC ? What CI are you using ? Generally the lower the CI the earlier the descent. About that half a minute difference between captains clock and the parking system clock, I wonder if they used to have all the clocks perfectly synchronized at that time ?

Thanks for correcting this. sebihepp, I think you may find the following quote from the FCOM of some interest: Note: If change to a localizer frequency is desired when captured in the VOR mode, disengage VOR LOC mode prior to selection of the localizer. VOR LOC mode can then be reengaged.

Ok, let's go thru this step by step. When you select the approach and activate the route then go to the HOLD page does it have a magenta ACT in the title ?

Generally swapping NAV freqs with VOR/LOC active seems like a no-no to me and I would think that using HDG SEL in between is a better idea. However if you feel like pulling off such stunts the you actually can and that's because to intercept a LLZ you DON'T dial the course as it serves NO purpose! So technically you should be able to just switch the freqs and that's it. Although I never tried it personally.

As you noticed this hold is a part of a G/A segment. During preflight once you go to DEP ARR page and select the LLZ 26 approach this hold is a part of it automatically gets activated on the HOLD page.

Just jumped in and loaded that flight. No problems here... With the flight loaded go to HOLD page then LSK 6L (NEXT HOLD) then press NEXT PAGE until you see RTTNB (the one being part of approach not G/A) downselect it to s/p then upselect it to the boxes at the bottom. The Exec light should illuminate... I'm sure you can take it from there. Just verify the hold appears on the ND.

if the whole cockpit seems blurry set global texture res to very high

Set global texture resolution to the max.

Open the isolation valve. You really need to read up on the basics. ;)

Also don't forget to enter the correct position into the fmc.PS. What on Earth is going on in this picture? Do you have a multi-storey apron there?

Thank You for the reply Jon!Guess they wrote the manual not seeing the sim.

One way to remedy this is to switch to DX10 mode.

I have problems confirming that. Could you possibly post a screenshot if you happen to have the FSX version ? Here's mine:PS. I know this data is there in the real plane I just can't seem to find it in the sim.

Just a tiny little question.Is there a way to display oxygen quantity/press on the STAT page? It's mentioned in the 5th chapter of the manual and in the checklist but don't know how to do this. 747-400X 2.1
