I had the same issue, and it took well over an hour to find the relevant post on the x-plane.org forum. The manuals and tutoral for the CRJ have not been updated yet to reflect this change in the functioning of the FMS. For the sake of others with the same problem, here's the link. And here's the text of that post: Your flightplan was not activated, because you didn't select a runway and SID (Standard Instrument Departure) at KBOS. If you had done that, the entry KBOS would have been replaced by the takeoff runway, and at would appear blue instead of magenta. The Rockwell Collins FMS4200 does not work like the standard X-Plane FMS. You have to select a departure before you actually depart. Also, you have a MOD FPLN (See the white MOD in the title and the EXEC prompt in the message line. The Autopilot in NAV mode will only follow the ACT FPLN, never the MOD FPLN, which appears as a dotted line on the MFD. Making the MOD FPLN the ACT FPLN is done by pressing EXEC. As for your PS, saving and loading flightplans also works on the ACT flightplan, not the MOD flightplan. So you have to EXEC the flightplan before saving it.
