Thread: Fmc programming discrepancy

  1. #1

    Default Fmc programming discrepancy

    For the past couple of weeks I have been slowly trying to figure out how to program a flightplan into the FMC, particularly the QW757, and one of the things that I have noticed is that while looking for the SID's on the FMC, none of them match with the SIDs provided by FSBuild on the autogenerated flightplan, for example, just now I tried to program a KSEA-KLAX flight on the QW757 FMC, and for SIDs FSBuild gave me the options of :
    BANGR6
    ELMAA8
    HAROB3
    KMORE2
    KTSAP3

    But FSBuild gave me this options:
    SUMMA6
    BANGR3
    ELMAA7
    KMORE1
    KTSAP2 among others

    So how can I program my FMC when none of the SIDs provided match what is on the flightplan?

    Your procedures in the QW757 are probably a year out of date. You can update from Navigraph website.

    FSBuild now uses AIRACs available from Navigraph. If your already using a Navigraph subscription to update your FMC you'll find FSBuild 2.4 as another download format (at no additional cost). That way they will be in sync. I can tell FSB is behind your FMC update because the procedure label revision number is higher than the FSB number in its dropdown such as "KTSAP2"
    whereas your FMC has "KTSAP3".

    I'm not sure the FSBuild update from 2.3 to 2.4 is in your order history at simmarket.com yet. Here is a direct link to the version as of two days ago:

    http://www.fsbuild.c...ild2405_Upd.exe

    You just install this over your existing 2.3 version. You will need to reset the path to your weather application if you use one most notably any current version of Active Sky. You open the FSBuild options screen, on the file path tab browse to your AS folder and OK it, the go to the Configuration tab and click the Save button. Then restart FSB to make the changes effective checking them in the options/file path tab.

    There is no cost for upgrading FSB 2.3 to 2.4. It comes with an AIRAC from a short time ago.
