Hello flight simmers of the world, it is me once more, I think on my first thread i did not do it correct, I am new at this game.
My problem is as follows.
Y enjoy flying the 700 series PDMG, however when it comes to loading the CDU/FMC I can never get it correct and end up receiving different errors while flying.
The software is great, however the instructions for loading the CDU are not complete, they start OK, but stop without finishing the loading for a particular case as it is: loading the waypoints to a destination, I can not be sure where or how to enter the assigned landing runway at the arrival.
I purchased a How to do it manual, by Mike Ray and the University of Temecula Press.
It is a good book but stops short o a complete explanation.
CAN ANY OF YOU READERS ON SIM WORLD LET ME KNOW OR PROVIDE ME WITH A COMPLETE SAMPLE FROM TAKEOFF TO LANDING SHOWING THE STEPS NEEDED TO LOAD THE CDU.
Thank you Guys and keep Flying

Hi,

There are a series of tutorial videos on Utube that really explain using the CDU very well. I would suggest Googling for "PMDG 737-800 CDU tutorial, You Tube" and see what comes up.

Hope this helps
