so my problem was that I had not entered the aircraft weight in the PERF INIT page. so you were right Olli - thanks for the help. i now have vnav (smile)
the next problem i have with the feelThere E175 / E195 is that after take off, as soon as I engage any flight director mode (eg... HDG, NAV or IAS or VS, etc, the dual line / cross hair flight director indications are (permanently) replaced with an awful flight path angle (FPA) "bird" depiction.
I can't get the normal dual line / cross hair flight director back once this happens.
- there is no setting in the CONFIGURATOR for the FD type.
- i checked the INI doc in the aircraft folder and there is nothing there for that either.
any clues?
thanks
james
