A rookie tries to program FMS and got problem

Hallo

 

Flying Flightfactor Boing 757 in X-plane.

 

To program the FMS is quite easy said someone in a forum. It is not easy if you have to read all the manuals in English, do not understand all the abbreviations and have little experience of flight.

I have recently tried to program the FMS and then fly from start to finish. My ambition is to be able to program the FMS so that I can fly with autopilot and land using ILS. I use EFASS to plan my flight.

I have a lot of problems.

1.After that I taken off and pressed the CMD the aircraft begins to climb and descend uncontrollably but after a while, the aircraft flies at the correct height. Why this? Which settings do you do on the MCP before take off?

I also get the message: NOT ON INTERCEPT HEADING. According to the manual, this is because, "with the airline not on heading which intercepts the active leg, displays ”NOT ON INTERCEPT HEADING” into the CDU scratch pads". But what do you do about it?

 

2. I tried to program STAR but it all goes wrong. Receive a message ”Route discontinuity”. How do I fix it?

I think you really need a good tutorial to get into the FMC programming  

Problem Nr.1:

-You set all your FMC stuff and set the autopilot: FD Switch to ON, -Autothrottle Arm, -LNAV+VNAV ON

Not on intercept heading: Just clear the message and fly the correct path towards your next waypoint Just don't worry about the message

Problem Nr.2:

You copy the waypoint after the "route discontinuity" message and click on the button to the left of the "Then: ----" field, then hit EXEC and it should be good
