tobbe490 Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 Thank you to everyone who helped me with your advices how I can reach my goal: to program the FMC in Boing 757 and fly on autopilot from start to finish!From having had zero knowledge of how the FMC works, I have now succeeded. Very helpful has been the program "EFASS" as well as countless movies on youtube, and your advices.What I miss is that I would like to make contact with the tower in flight and get "clearance for landing." Is it possible to get ATC to operate in X-Plane 10? I have not succeeded in any case. Quote
Ryan M. Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 Quick question, where did you find help? I'm in the same boat you were in with little knowledge of how this works. Quote
tobbe490 Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Posted December 6, 2014 Hallo Ryan M! I am a beginner and think it's just too hard to read the manuals supplied with each aircraft. I've been watching movies in Youtube. I have searched Youtube, for example, ”FMC programming” or the like. Then I have asked members about specific problems I had. Many answers were not as detailed, and then I asked again. Some do not seem to understand how little one knows but uses abbreviations that I do not understand. Google can then be helpful. A great help has been EFASS, a program to plan your flight. I received this tip from a member.If there is any question I can help you with, set it here! Quote
