RTE and LEGS page

[dornier]

Hi all,

Anyone have problem with the new release of CDU update?

I cannot enter waypoint in LEGS page and encounter some problems with SID entry.

RTE page: 3 situations:
1. If I enter the the SID name in RTE page directly, it will show DIRECT in CIA line and the SID name in TO line. Which I think should be wrong. It should be SID in VIA, SID ending waypoint in TO position. (please correct me if I am wrong)

2. If I select rwy and SID and airway in "DEP APR" page WITHOUT activate it. It will
show up as everything correct in RTE page and I can continue enter data in
RTE page as well. However, it shows up no waypoint data in LEGS page.

3. If I select rwy and SID and airway in "DEP APR" page AND activate it. RTE page will show a strange display (no SID ending waypoint show, airway in TO line). LEGS page shows waypoint data BUT cannot enter any manually.

Do you have the same problem for current CDU version 386?

I have this problems too, very strange things happens when selecting sids, transitions and route. Can't delete waypoints, the saved flightplans are not loaded and other things, please Enrico look at these. I was unable to fly LIMC sid ROM6C transition AOS8J.
'cause can't delete route disco and if i try to delete, all the flightplan is flushed.

Have either of you guys reported this to support@projectmagenta.com ? Unless you do that Enrico may not get this.

Hi all,

Yes, I report to Enrico once I got this problem. However, he cannot reproduce the same problem. That's why I found it strange. I am using the latest beta. I didn't try using airway to draw a flight plan before (i didnt learn it before). Therefore, I don't know if this is an existied error.

Any other Boeing GC user encounter the same problem when using airway to create a flight plan?

Hello,
I have some semilar problems using the CDU. If I insert a DEP I am unable to select any direct to until I delete the whole departure Procedure.
Could it be, that the normal function of the CDU is very dependent of the correct installing and configuration of the CDU software?
It is impossible to insert a missed approach routing followed on a go around.
I am not so familar with the Boeing CDU cause I am flying A 319`s, but my brother is flying the real NG and was very disappointed about these malfunctions of the CDU. He told me that the PMDG CDU is working much more realistic. I think there is a error in my setup, cause all the PM software is working so fine and reliable.

Just receive Enrico's advice:

"Can you please go away from the navigraph database? I think they may have
done a wrong conversion.

Please use both CDU and Navdata from www.projectmagenta.com/latest.html
"

I will change back to betanavdata1206 for a look later on. Hope everything back to normal. Will report later.

Hi Brian, are you using Navigraph's data base?

[dcutugno]

What? I will go back to betanavdata for a try but i paid for latest navigraph, will they give back credits that i spent?

[dornier]

No one sure what happen right now. If the problem is caused by the new Navigraph, I am sure they will do something.

I tried using the beta CDU nav data. Same problem happen.

After enter SID and airway info in RTE page, nothing show up in LEGS. Not even a single waypoint.

Anyone know if there is some video capture software? so I can capture a short video clip to Enrico. As he cannot reproduce the problem we having.
