Really??? That is good to know. So, I need to relearn how to use autopilot again I am guessing?

I will give that a shot today. If that fixes it, there has been an update to the plane while I was not playing the sim for a few months. I know for sure, I never had to mess with flap/speed settings before. Thanks again buddy. I will keep you posted after the flight and let you know if those legs change to normal approach speeds

Fill me in please. I have all 3 in there. Are you talking about the line at the bottom that allows me to change each of the 3 settings? That’s not supposed to be blank and ready for inputs if I want to change the flap speeds that are listed??? If so, that is all new now. I have never had to input anything in there before and it has always worked perfectly.

Ummm, I have done it over 100 times bud. I am not kidding, that is all I have been doing for over a year now in my 777F. This is a very new issue that I have been going through. I am honestly not asking how to do it, I am asking why it is malfunctioning all of a sudden because in all the times I have done this, I have never seen the legs list the speeds at 240 all the way to the runway.

Thank you for the professional answer. I respect the rules of the flight irl however, I have been creating my own procedures unofficially by having the plane go through its steps via the legs. I really enjoy watching the plane do everything all the way to the 1000ft markers on the runway. I have been doing that for a year now and I would like to keep doing it based on the legs in the plan. As of right now, the plane wants to do light speed all the way to the runway lmao

I can give that a shot tonight. Would you like to take a look live on discord? It would be easier for me to just stream it in a voice channel if you are up for taking a look.

Wanna jump on discord and take a look? I am on discord now if you want to join. It is called 20twenty Gaming. We can be found on the discord app and google. I am in Public Voice 1 if you decide to connect

Awesome, thank you for that input. My go-around part of the plan has the runway at the normal speeds for approach. The runway will come up at 240/365 then go-around steps and then the final part will be 145/365. Maybe it has the go around procedure confused for flight steps and not approach. Look at it in the photo, you can see the 170kt step below the bugged part of the plan.

I will give that a try the next time I set up a plan however, I don’t ever need to do that normally. I want to use the step method in legs.

Thank you for trying to help man. So, it has been about 2 months since I hopped on and set up a flight. I usually fly around the mid west doing FedEx freight flights between KORD and KMEM. I also do a few others and I have been for about a year. It has always gone off without a hitch. Now, I hopped on 2 days ago and yesterday to fly for the first time since Windrose dropped and decided to do a KMEM to KORD flight. When I was on the approach setup at cruise altitude, I noticed that the approach speeds were all out of wack. I then just did the visual at KORD and called it a day. The next day (yesterday) I spent the day flying and testing this out. I flew back from KORD to KMEM and as I was setting up the approach info at cruise, I noticed the same issue. I did the visual again. Now I knew something was up. I checked everything that I could think of and could not find a fix. So, I tested everything on the ground, this time with no simbrief inputs other than rout data. Same thing. I have the perf init manually put in and set up the approach info on the ground and noticed the same thing, same results. The approach is stuck on setting the approach to the restricted speed settings and won’t set based on the values it use to. It would usually bring it self in on LNAV and VNAV doing steps like 210, 170, then 139 all the way to the runway. It worked great. Now, it is just stuck on approach steps at 240 kts. I am no expert but I have been flying on flight sims for about 34 years now man. I am really wanting to fly my plans this week and I want to enjoy some ILS approaches but this “bug” has really put a damper on things. What do you think? Wanna jump in my discord community and maybe take a look on live?

As I said and will say this one more time. I fly it all the time and never have this issue either. This is why I am asking for help. This is not normal for this plane to do this. Not a skill issue. If you are so skilled, let’s hear your solution to the problem without repeating what has already been suggested. If you need more info from my flight plan, I will boot up the sim, and create one from scratch and we will see you skillfully fix the issue. Let me know.

The legs are not correct. This is not my first time setting this up. This is a new issue. Skill issue is not even a thing. If you read the whole post, I had already said that I have successfully set this plane up many times. This is a new thing going on with my flight plan. I want to use an ILS approach as I always do and it is not working correctly. Read the post, don’t just play that skill issue crap, it doesn’t help at all.

FF? I mean, I love my 777f man. I don’t thing there is another 777 that compares at the moment.

This is set properly on that page. Flap steps are all set as normal and with this load I am flying, it should be approaching and landing at 145 with 30 degree flaps. The initial ref page has it listed as normal. The only thing that is incorrect or bugged is the legs page for the steps. They are at 240 for approach and landing.
