EXEC on CDU issue

[Vespa]

Maybe not a bug...but just some wrong operation on my side.

I'm trying to follow ( step by step ) the Jan's video tutorial N.2 ( Autopilot and Flight Directors ).

Trying to set the FMS I can't get the EXEC button illuminated...so I don't know if the data are correctly used by the FMS.

In the image below you can see the data I put into the CDU (exactly what is into the video tutorial, min 04:06 ). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for any feedback.

Did you fill out the perf page before filling out a route?

Yep...as reported in Jan's video (he start filling the INIT REF page), I set ZFW, RESERVES and CRZ ALT, after that EXEC should be illuminated ...not on my side

Ah yes you're right. Jan's tutorial does have exec after filling out the perf page. Maybe Jan can comment on this.

I did several tests..removing ALL my plugin except Gyzmo...nothing!

Cannot activate PERF INIT

Don't worry about it now. It doesn't affect anything.

Hi guys,

this was something we changed during development - initially we had the EXEC button light up (just like in the tutorial video), but later we decided that it should only light up when there is a route that can be executed.

In a way the EXEC button is the trigger for the FMS to start "working with the new route". And if you only input PERF data without a route, there is nothing to "work with".

So once a route is activated, changing (or even entering anew) any value on the PERF INIT page will give you an EXECute light, because now a route will be influenced by your changed performance parameter. If you don´t have an active route, you will not get the EXECute light.

I do not remember. But I think it works the way we have it now.
