787 cdu

    I have followed the process of setting up the cdu the same way I would when flying the 787-10, unfortunately when setting up the 787-8 the waypoints do not configure the altitude nor speed like the 787-10 does. Don’t get me wrong the aircraft is great but I’m stuck on what else I can do to solve the issue

      I want to recreate the issue you have. I will try to check this out. Maybe my team can recreate it, but your case is a first at the moment. The systems are the same, so being unable to insert altitude and speed on waypoints has me curious. It could be our fault.

          I apologise for bugging you guys but I had this problem before the update but I had assumed simbrief would of sorted it out, just to confirm setting up the -8 is the same process as the -10 ?

            yes, setting up the-8 is the same, correct.

                That’s good to know, I follow the same procedures as in the 10, I do the overhead panel, request simbrief data put in the departure and arrival waypoints but I still have blank waypoints inbetween

                  Please elucidate the phrase “I still have blank waypoints in between”,
                  I might have a solution.

                      As in the Sid’s, they have no set altitudes or speeds

                        Maybe a FMC tutorial would help? https://bravoairspace.net/notams-/-notams787assistance/flightschool
                        Maybe that link will help ^_^

                          What was your departure ICAO?
                          I’ll try to have a look to see what exactly you’re facing and find a solution for it if your still looking for one.

                              EGLL, but this is a recurring issue at every airport

                                    I don’t have this problem with the -10

                                      Interesting because we don't touch anything else but flaps and weight within the systems. Right @leviathan ?
                                      At this moment I think its a mix of what @SkyRudder says. I don't see why our systems prevents the visibility of the waypoints.

                                      I would like for you to record a clip for us so we can see your steps. I recommend Twitch.

                                          Could I contact you through WhatsApp or messenger and send you a recording through there? my twitch is playing up at the moment

                                        Hi there, I had tested it at EGLL,WMKK and WSSS, as expected the output of the 788 was the exact same as the 78x, follows the same nav data too-WT10407001

                                        For EGLL:
                                        The Procedures used were GOSIG sid runway 27R

                                        Results:
                                        No speeds set in the SID, the speed would be automatically set to 250kias
                                        By the plane however there were altitude restrictions till fl060.

                                        So I would say this is more of a WT thing than it is a BA787 thing.
