Your Current FS Flight

[Old man voice]You kids and you're fancy computer instrument panels... When I was a youngin we didn't have all that[/Old man voice]
In all seriousness, FMC and all that seems complicated to me.

once you get your head around all the different functions and basic operation, its really easy, I learned LNAV/VNAV and SID/STAR procedures for the LDS 767 in an afternoon (with some help from good old Andrew C).

GPS suites me fine

I'd recommend going to www.ldsflyingclub.com and reading some of the tutorials. The 767-300 FMC is very powerful, and the 'tutorial' above is only letting you take advantage of about 15% of its power. Setting up the FMC to make use of both LNAV, VNAV, as well as fuel predictions, SID/STAR/Airway databases, etc. will give you a whole new level of realism in FS.

to be honest I'd say that my quick tutorial above takes advantage of less then 15% of the FMCs power, thats just the most basic use of it, IMO anyway.

Well, as soon as I get my compute back that has FS on it I'll be doing TNCM-CYYZ-CYVR-PHNL-CYVR-CYYZ-LFPG-CYYZ, all as Air Canada, all in the LDS763

Thanks for that Chris, I'll give it ago.



Sam, you really are an arse and if you won't listen to me when I say I have crashes on then don't think you will be visiting FF again for a while

You never said you had crashes on

He didn't like me doing barrel rolls over his head

I was using FF anyway but he joined when I was 200nm out of TNCM before getting banned for being an ass

Can you add intersections to the FMC?

after you've programmed/executed your route? yes, but I dont remember how off hand.

[RingwaySam]

LMAO!

btw, as far as I know there is no STAR for TNCM, I'll the flightplans I've found for TNCM usually end with a waypoint followed by Radar Vectors for either the Visual Approach, or the DME Approach.
