FMC - - How to start over?

[Tim013]

The other day, I was getting ready to do a VATSIM flight, and decided to program the STAR without including the approach, as I didn't know what would be in use on arrival.  Well, long story short, many minutes of trying to delete route items, many INVALID DELETE's, a Gizmo soft crash, and several curse words, I decided to cut my losses, and just reload the plane, and start over.

Is there a way to reset the FMC and start over without reloading the entire aircraft?

Thanks,

Press RTE and re-enter origin airport this will clear anything you may have entered/selected for the route

 

note: works for any boeing fmc

I will try that.

Thanks.

A shortcut for what mmerelles says is double click the L1 button (origin airport) at the page 1/2 of RTE. It is the same effect, actually cleaning everything, including the origin airport.

If you have a gizmo softcrash, you must reboot the scripts or reload the aircraft.

If you can consistently softcrash gizmo in 1.1 we would love to see how you do it so we can fix that problem!

I know what route I was putting in, I think I can reproduce it.  I'll try it again in few days.
