A380 FMS in 2021 version

  • Hi, I'm flying my first time using the A380, in AF 2021 verson (mobile).


    Is the FMC not live in this aircraft? The display is stuck on a KSFO runway and the buttons don't do anything. I can't get the flight plan to show.


    Also how can I adjust the cruise altitude to get an accurate VNAV descent indication? I started at FL350 but the PD showed "ALT" ....then I guessed and tried FL410 and this showed "ALT CRZ", so I stayed there. But what if I want to use different flight levels?


    Any tips and pointers much appreciated!

    The display on the left is not working yet. That is the onboard information terminal (OIT) and not the flight management system (FMS). It's used for charts but has no actual connection to the autopilot unlike the FMS which is actually working and is controlled with the two MFDs in the center pedestal...

  • Ok great , thanks! I tried to get the FMS to work but failed. Any tips about the exact switches to use would be much appreciated ☺️


    I do see FMS displays, in the centre on the left and right, but the keypad has no effect. They are stuck on a page that shows KSFO Rwy 28L as departure . But my flight plan is Oakland to Phoenix. In all other aircraft normally the FMS updates as soon as the menu flight plan is changed.


    (Just a reminder, this is the 2021 mobile version).
