@doubleBdasher VNAV won't fly you higher than the altitude you have set on the autopilot panel. so make sure you have set this to the flight level you want to go to, then vnav will make you climb again.
how do u align the pmdg 747 i cant get ay panels to work i use instant align time is that a prob or not im good wif a 747 but not aligning rhe pmsg cause i cant get panel to work ive tryed everything so if u can help it would be appreciated thanks
@mrpropilot1 u have probably not set the irs pos yet, to do this, put the 3 switches to align and go to FMC it will say to "Set IRS Position" so in the init ref page press gps pos that puts the coordinates in the scratchpad, then press set irs pos. then put switches back to nav, that should work now
how is it that your aircraft flies along the pink line with cross wind at high altitudes and mine keeps drifting off to the left ? im forget to turn on the transponder. is that whats causing it ? i dont use tower either. please i need help. im great at flying the 747 but im just concerned why yours is staying on course with cross wind at 30 kts and mine drifts to the left no matter what the weather is.
@meloescher Hey, Many thanks for the tutorialVideo. anyway I heared you where saying that you are wondering what does DRAG REQUIRED means, and it means that you current actual speed is much highier than what is programmed on FMC, so You should Drag the aircraft by raising the nose to reduce you speed. and by the way IRS can do that without any humen intervention. hope that this comment helped you same as you helped me :)
Terrific! I just bought this package and I love it. I will never be able to fly it that well but I love the fact that it's complicated and very techinical. Fulfills many fantasys I've had as a kid and adult. Thank you.
Thank you very much Mel, information is bliss! You are teaching me how to be a better pilot and that's all I want, very nice tuttorial

Not sure. On LNAV, it should follow the magenta line.
