Maverick_2000 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I tried to set a altitude restriction during my flight today. Everytime when i press the right button at the waypoint with the restriction, i get a format error message as in the image below.

Fornax Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I presume thats because you have to INSERT the (revised) restrictions in th correct format. Not just press the button... Like /18000 or 250/10000 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artox67 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Press the key right beside where you want to put in the restriction and set this in the page which pops up. Is an Airbus not a Boeing 😉 Cheers Edited January 7 by artox67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick_2000 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 The problem is that i get a format error when i press the key right beside a waypoint. I know that there should pop-up a page where i can enter the data. I get a format error every time. Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fornax Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Thats what Im trying to tell you: There is no pop-up page. Type ex 250/10000 and THEN press the right button where you want to isert the restriction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdr Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Pressing the right line select key next to a waypoint shows the VERT REV A page (if the scratchpad is empty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdr Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 This post https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/20898-step-pred-page-missing/ shows the VERT REV A page and the relevant section of the Sperry FMS Manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabby Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Again, doing something wrong. Yesterday I was inbound CYYZ and got a descent to and maintain 17000 which was different from the SID. I selected the RLSK by the waypoint and typed 17000 in the scratchpad, then hit the altitude box and insert. Worked fine. Mark "Crabby" Crabtree AAL311 | PHL I7-9700KF | 2070 Super | Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo | MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your described way of doing it is another way of changing speed/alt restrictions directly via a value in the scratchpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what was done wrong or what was thought was done right. All I know Is I can enter speed and altitude restrictions at waypoints and modify them as I need. That is why I said doing SOMETHING wrong. 1 Mark "Crabby" Crabtree AAL311 | PHL I7-9700KF | 2070 Super | Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo | MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to click the R-LSK of the waypoint you want to edit, then put in the restiction in the VERT REV A page as people in this thread already said. Â @Maverick_2000 Can you confirm there is nothing in your scratchpad when you click the R-LSK? Maybe show a video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick_2000 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Yes, there was nothing in the scratchpad, i cleard the scratchpad. Unfortunately i have no video. After this flight where the problem happened, i have restarted and tried it again. After the restart everything was as it should an i was able to put in restrictions. So maybe it happens only sometimes. I will make a video, the next time the problem happens. Kind regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
