Agrajag27 7 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Just seeing if I have this right. Today on VATSIM I was flying into DFW when the winds shifted and took me from landing on 18R to 36L requiring a shift in STAR to JOVEE5. With my last plane if I went in and hit DEP/ARR and changed the arrival data the FMS would wipe out the previous entry. What I'm seeing is the old entry staying in the FMS and thus goofing up my approach. Is this supposed to work that way and I need to manually remove all the old steps or is there some other function to do this sort of last moment shift?

Ha_Ma 192 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I see the same. I ha tried to delete the old approach, but when i do so, the FMC and other parts of the aircraft freeze and i can only fly it manually. So if i have to change the approach, i type in the new one and have to delete/overwrite the old STARs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag27 7 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Not sure I'm following that. You said that if you delete the old approach it freezes, but then you say you delete the old STARs and type in a new one. It sounds like the same thing here. Can you correct me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag27 7 Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 You know, I wonder if we could use the Secondary Flightplan on the FMS to overcome this. I've never had a reason to use it so I have zero idea how you'd switch over to it. The thinking is, before you leave the depature gate set it up with everything except the arrival and then if you get re-routed you could then add just that part, clean it up and activate it.

I meant when i choose another approach first, i can delete/overwrite the old wrong STARs. I am not sure if we can make a secondary FP only for the changed approach, never tested this.

Â Me neither, but it seems like it would work. I'll have to check this on my next flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag27 7 Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 I'm hearing from other users that they too are having issues with this and feel it's a bug. Does anyone know if this is something that's likely to get fixed at some point in the future? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Markowski 139 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Is it potentially the same issue as this?  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other planes if you change the APP/RWY info the FMS will remove the old APP and/or RWY info in the FMS and replace it with this info. Not here (but again maybe that's what happens in the real plane, but it seems wrong). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Markowski 139 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 That's what I mean, have you tried punching EXEC after every change to see if you still get the duplicate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, Hans assisted us on the A330 today.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moar Right Rudder 10 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 FMS behavior in these conditions vary depending on whether the runway changes fixes on your arrival (STAR) and where you are on the arrival. Best practice in the CRJ when changing runways, approaches, arrivals, etc is to run through the LEGS page in the FMS to confirm the changes and make edits if you find things are going to be sequenced incorrectly prior to hitting EXEC.
