My FMC displays NO AIRAC info. That area is completely blank. I have reinstalled the 747 fleet file. I've also even updated the iFly AIRAC to 0903 from their website. Any help is appreciated on why the FMC in the game isn't seeing the AIRAC info. I'm running FSX by the way. I have it installed to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly (which is where the installer put it)

Still hoping someone has a solution for this before I give up on the 747 frown

How do you fly the plane without the database in the FMC?

I'll try it. I was under the impression that without the FMC working, the auto pilot would eventually throttle to zero without proper input from the FMC. That's the impression I got from the manual.

Is it possible to fly this plane without a working FMC Navadata database?
