That's a problem within the box I guess? Should be routed to the oceanic address.
No need for an oceanic clearance if the oceanic controller isn't online.
Domestic ATC shouldn't be processing your oceanic clearance. The clearance is issued by Gander Oceanic and given to you via CPDLC OR a dedicated VHF clearance delivery frequency OR in the event of a reclearance relayed via domestic ATC over VHF.
The levers in the Hot Start rendition are silver, though XP lighting may mess with that a little.
The general theme throughout the 604/605/650 is white levers except where leather stitched yokes are fitted. Never seen black ones before though I don't doubt that they exist.
Make sure 14th stage pushbuttons are out, as well as the L & R pushbuttons on the 10th stage. All you need selected is APU LCV and ISOL.
14th stage should not illuminate with only APU running, please see diagram for reference.
Afternoon,
If I recall correctly the mach rolling back in managed mode is a problem with the real box. Recommend that you use selected speed in cruise.

I put in my first level as the cruise then update when ready to step, pretty much what you're doing. 190 is an unusual level to stop at, I would skip anything below 300 personally. Just Simbrief being Simbrief!
