It shows up in the actual FMC when I go to coroute, but nothing populates.

I'm trying to figure out how to take my .rte file in EFB and import it into the FMC co route in the PMDG 737-700. I've tried to save the .rte file, and import it using the CO route, but it doesn't load anything into the LEGS page. Am I missing something simple?

I'm running world of AI, so I've got the traffic, but as you know it's a big mess trying to land at any airprot. Does Vatsim or RC help deal with that?

Thanks guys, I'll try it out.

I'll have to check it too, as I'm going nuts, but I appreciate all the help. So I'm getting this bird on the ground, it flares, but why is it saying single channel, it beats me. Here is a screenshot.

Thank you.....

So can I import that into FSX? Is that where I can "load" a flight plan?

Ok, dumb question here.....again, I'm just learning the proper ways to start flying, but how can you tell when the LOC is on and captured?

Hey guys, was hoping you could help me out on this one. I'm finally getting the hang of the PMDG and the FMC. I am programming in my routes and ready to go, but one thing, I'm trying to fly out, and ATC won't give me clearance to fly because an airport is currently IFR. I've done IFR clearance through the FS program and created those VOR to VOR routes, but now that I'm using the FMC, I don't file the FSX plan. Can someone provide some advice?Thanks-Bill Johnson

Yeah I'm confused. I just landed in Vegas, plane flared and everything, yet I still had no 2nd AP lit up....so go figure.

At least I'm not the only one in this boat...... or plane... :)Dave,Trying to land into Vegas, Rw 25L,according to the charts, I hit Prino at 8,000. I guess perhaps I have a few questions. 1. Where should I be intercepting heading, and at what point should I hit the APP button to even attempt the 2nd AP?Thanks,Bill

Ok, perhaps that's where I'm confused. Is it possible the 2nd light is coming on and just going off, but it's still saying single channel

I'm able to autoland, just not get the 2nd ap engaged and flare.

Hey guys....let me know if I'm crazy...Both Nav radios set.Glideslope is perfect, I go to press CMD B and it holds for a second, then either kicks off the CMD A, or it just shuts off. I've pressed the App, it's not turning green, it just seems to gray out but does follow down. Also it says single channel the whole time.-Bill

Hey there guys/gals.....I'm a bit confused, and was hoping someone could help. I've been flying the PMDG 737-700 and I've got what I think everything setup for a autoland. I've got both Navs set to the ILS frequency, switched over to APP, my CMD A is on and working, but I select the 2nd autopilot and it stays on for a few seconds then shuts off.Both F/D's are on, the realistic A/P is off in the setup of the FMC, so I'm not getting the aircraft to flare. Any thoughts?Bill Johnson

Hey Jude.....Thanks for the reminder! I'll have to look up the errors again tonight. I'll try to post them.-Bill Bennett

Hey guys/gals,I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue with the 737-700 locking up. Seems to be I get to firing up the engines and then I will move outside the aircraft in a spot view, and the sim locks up. It doesn't with other add ons....any idea where to at least start?Specs:Intel i7 920Asus P6X58D4 Gig DDR3 1333Win7GeForce GTX 460

Hey there folks, was hoping someone could help me out.I am buying some new RAM, currently have 4 gig of 1333. Was reading all sorts of stuff, I have an Asus board that supports up to 2000, but I assume 1866 and the 2000 needs to be overclocked. I dont' mind overclocking a little, but I've heard the CPU doesn't always recognize them. Anyone have experience with 1600 or 1866?Thanks!
