Step-by-step what you're entering into the FMC/CDU.
If there isnt a problem with the actual program (which I doubt there is) then you are inputting wrong. Garbage in Garbage out. This was the first addon I ever purchased, before that I was using crappy defaullt aircraft that didnt require any inteligence to fly, so 737 PIC was a shock to my system. I spent some time learning the manual and made a good number of practice flights and in a week I was flying like a pro haha. Its all there in the manual matey. Its not the best manual in the world but its certainly adequate. |

They are found on the VNAV section of the FMC. Are you going to post a screenshot?

I think you need to really go back to the manual and read it step by step.
It really does explain how to get this thing flying using the autopilot. You need to make sure you have looked at every page in the FMC using the function buttons and if you havent input any data into those pages think to yourself should i be and what should be there. As everyone is saying please provide screenshots of MCP FMC PAGES - VNAV, CLB,CRZ,DES, LEGS, RTE, PERF INT EHSI (NAV DISPLAY) ATTIUDE INDICATOR These will really help us who cannot see what your doing, what you have done and if its right. |

So you hadn't aligned the IRS. If you posted a screen shot we would have found that out days ago!

Well the fact that the instruments appear dead if you don't align the IRS, should have been a give-away! |

The CDU/FMC works as it should, you just need to learn it. The guy who wrote the useful bits in the manual supplied with 737 PIC, Captain Mike Ray, also publishes "Flying the Boeing 700 Series Flight Simulators", which is widely available, and is a must have if you want to learn how this thing really works (because it's not intuitive). I would have given up long ago if it wasn't for this manual.

I'd highly reccomend the Mike Ray manuals, an excellent manual.
