Couple of questions regarding this masterpiece

[Alex]

A very good day,
I have a couple of questions regarding this masterpiece.
I have it installed on 3 computers and during the installation never encountered any problems (1 PC with win 7 64, one iMAC and MacBook Air) software runs at perfect performance.
Now, I am wondering if anything went wrong during the installation without any warnings or is something else.
I am still wondering and learning the instructor menu, while I'm getting used to the software, this is what I found regarding the 744 operation

1)   In VNAV page 3 if I enter any particular speed at L2 it will update VANAV page2 with the same value.
2)   On MCDU while in flight and pushing RTE key it should bring you to RTE 1 page 2/2 (if on RTE 1) not on RTE 1 page 1 / 2 , is this airline option?
3)   While loading the FPL, Origin and Destination (manual or via acars) for some reason I have only access for DEP and have to EXEC before choosing the ARR and EXEC again.
4)   I have an issue with the intercept course but I need to post pictures for a clear exemplification of what is happening.

Could all this be related to a glitch during installation?

Regards,
Alex

Good evening, Alex,

it's all intentionally designed this way.

1) I implemented it this way as there is just one common cost index for the entire flight.

2) I didn't know that. Is this an FMC version update? You mean, in flight, it should always directly open the first VIA/TO page of the active route?

3) Not sure what you mean.


Thank you for your input!


Cheers,

A very good day Hardy,
I will contact you via e-mail tomorrow, it's quite late today for your time zone.

Good morning.

2)   On MCDU while in flight and pushing RTE key it should bring you to RTE 1 page 2/2 (if on RTE 1) not on RTE 1 page 1 / 2

This feature is now available in Alpha 10.

However, I need to know: What if I press the RTE key in flight while any RTE page is already displayed? Will it show page 1 or page 2?

In Alpha 10, in flight, when you are not on a RTE page, pressing the RTE key will show page 2, and pressing it again will show page 1.

Hi Hardy,
Pressing RTE key in flight while any RTE page is already displayed will bring you back to page 2 again. If you need to make any modifications we use NEXT PAGE or PREV PAGE, based on what kind of new clearance we get from ATC, it can be airways to airways and that will be executed in RTE page or, if is a just a fix it can be executed in legs page as well.

OK, thank you, Alex.

P.S.: I applied this rule also to the ROUTE> keys on other pages. E.g. ROUTE> at 6R on POS INIT will open RTE page 2 when in flight.

Many thanks.
