I really enjoy using FSIPanel for landing practice but lately I have noticed some anomalies trying to set up RNAV approaches. One is getting VERT PATH FULL, in the scratchpad, another is MAX MACH .0 and the third is after setting up my Pilot WP and after entering the ARR info for the runway etc, when I go to the CRZ page and enter the altitude, everything freezes. I literally have to go to the task manager and END TASK for MSFS. I try to follow JP's instructions in the you tube video but use other airports, charts and waypoints of course. Has anyone has experienced any of these issues or if anyone can assist in what i might be doing wrong. Could the latest PMDG updates cause this? Thanks

Bugs?
Re: Bugs?
Hi David,
It could be something with the new update, I'm currently working on an update but fixing other issues.
I tried a RNAV approach earlier and got no issues, could you tell me which airport / runway you tried and from which position, I will try to reproduce.
Cheers,

Re: Bugs?
Hello JP
I wanted to be sure I was doing everything correctly before I wasted any of your valuable time. Basically there seems to a problem with the PMDG-800 only. I tried to set up a RNAVZ 08L KATL 5 miles from BOLND in the -800. The first thing that happened was when i went to enter the Approach in the FMS the Rsk2 ARR button would not activate. Yet the Rsk1 would, but when entering the RWY it would give a "Invalid Entry error". That was a new bug. So i gave up on the -800. Went to the -700 and everything went flawless following your instructions based on your video Rnav Z from ROGBO in Breman which is basically my template, regardless of what approach i am working on. After the successful session, and completely restarting everything, my computer, MSFS and FSiPanel I tried the -800 again and this time the entries in the R2 for the ARR was fine, but when i went to CRZ page and entered my 8000 feet altitude, as soon as i pressed to enter in LSK1 MSFS completely froze. I had to end task to recover, restarted everything, and the same thing happened the second time. The only thing I notice about the -800 when I load in on the RUNWAY, the BARO reading on the MCP is yellow and in a yellow box, I have never noticed that before and may have absolutely nothing to do with anything. Once the A/C is in the air, it is normal green as usual. Thanks for all you do with this program for us Sir! Maybe the -800 is acting up after the fiasco of the latest update. KUDO's to PMDG though for their all in all great product as well.

It appears it was issues with the PMDG 738. I had other problems as well, especially with my Virtual Airline ACARS so it was suggested by them to uninstall & reinstall the 738, after I did this, so far it looks like this might have solved the problems. I will try to do an RNAV approach again as soon as I can and let you know the results. Thanks Sir
