I have now deleted all the E Jets, downloaded them again and installed them. The problem has gone. Absolutely no idea why it was happening butit affected both the 170/190 series and the 175/195 version 2 E Jets as well.

Every time I set the FMC into the 170/190, climb to cruise height then go to set the Arrival information into the FMC it wipes out my VNAV information in the flight plan completely. Everything sets up nicely with speeds and altitude information and VNAV works perfectly until I set the STAR info during the cruise when all the speed and altitude info disappears! I make sure that I activate when requested. Is this a problem in the EJets or am I doing something wrong? Many thanks for any help!

Peter I had to come back to you and let you know that the problem had nothing to do with FSUIPC but merely my stupidity! I had forgotten that the realism of the PMDG J41 as opposed to less lifelike sims does not operate the flaps unless the engines are running to power the hydraulics and thus the flaps! It was that simple! Sorry to bother you but thanks anyway for the advice. Tony

Thanks Peter I will have a good think about your reply before deciding what to do. Very much appreciate your product and your support. Tony

I am afraid I am useless at this FSUIPC programming stuff. I followed a tutorial and decided to try and make a dedicated Saitek yoke and throttle set up for my PMDG J41. All went fine for the yoke , throttle and even the prop condition levers but unfortunately the flaps are now permanently stuck on the first stage of flaps after I programmed one lever to do them. I have tried re enabling the standard FSX Control Joystick and even removing the lever from the Flaps line in the standard FSX Options/Controls section but nothing will now allow the flaps on my PMDG J41 to go anywhere except the first stage of flaps! How can I clear completely any of the dedicated settings I made and go back to default on that aircraft? All help gratefully received!
