XwolfhoundX Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I'm having trouble using the FMS of the default 747-400 that comes with X-plane 10. Can anyone teach me how to use it properly?, I have been trying to figure it out for awhile. So far I have managed to input VOR, APT, FIX codes but I can't seem to get the plane to follow the defined routes. I have heard that you need to switch the NAV selector knob to GPS but I can't find that knob in the cockpit. Thanks alot EDIT: This website does help http://home.earthlink.net/~x-plane/FAQ-Using-FMS.html, but in a limited way as the layout of the FMS is different from the one in the mentioned aircraft. I do appreciate if anyone can provide help for the 747-400 FMS, thanks again. Edited March 1, 2013 by XwolfhoundX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APUtech Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) *Is* there a visible/functional "GPS" selector switch on the default X-Plane 10.2x 747-400 panel? I can't seem to locate it, despite my efforts to. APUtech edit: Perhaps a picture of its whereabouts?

APUtech Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Thank you, BWolf7. Since clicking and dragging the 2nd knob through its positions did not show an actual "GPS" tag, I assume the "FMC" selection is the GPS-equivalent position?

The LNAV will track any waypoints you add in to the flight management computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APUtech Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Understood; thank you (again). Your help is appreciated--I just successfully filed a short hop frm KSAN to KPHX on the 747-400's FMC. APUtech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
