No Brief description of the issue:
The plane itself : the CJ4 can’t get any higher as FL250 on full power , N2 = 100,8% fuel = 50%
altitude set to FL300 , FMC on at 260Kn , i have to set vs with positive climb to get it above FL250…
at FL300 it stuggles to stay at speed with full power.
The FMS , only thing you can do is set pos , then route button does nothing.
When flying route , ATC does a good job with some altitude bugs in the atc here and there. But the problem is that the legs page is frozen, while i 've flown 2 pages worth of waypoints , none of the entries go away. see picture…
when you program the destination runway the route is added to the legs page , but since it’s frozen from the start , you can’t move , next waypoint to the top. aka plane lost waypoint list and now starts to circle.
After a good cup of coffee , ^ this is all due to the fact that i can not get to where the exec button can be pressed to activate the flightplan. conclusion the FMC is broken and need to be fixed. and again the correct config files for the cj4 need to be uploaded.

I’ve only just come back to the sim after some time away and I’m also having this problem. I can’t add Ref Airport into Pos Init, just keeps saying…Not In Database.
This in the Cessna CJ4 stock.
Yeah I would really like the working title but I’m on Xbox X unfortunately…
This is a new problem though as I’ve flown the stock Cessna Citation a lot in the past without issue. I’ve been away the last couple of months and something must have changed through an update.
Must say the sim is looking better than ever though!
Had a great couple of flights in the Beachcraft Bonanza and Kingair last night and really enjoyed it so good to be back : )
the fmc used to kinda work in the stock CJ4 , it’s been broken during one of the many updates. and now xbox users run into this problem which can’t be fixed with a ‘mod’.
SU8 , The FMS in the CJ4 is still broken. settting up the FMS for a planned route is not possible because the Route button does nothing and so the exec button will never light up.
When is this gonna be fixed ?
Maybe you could put the CJ4 Files from SU4 or SU3 back so that we have a functioning FMS again.
Not sure what this “route button” is you are talking about, but I did two flights in the CJ$ since SU8 and the FMS works fine. Input origin /arrival/waypoints. then input SID and STAR and it all works well.
Often after the SID is a discontinuity in the plan and you have to chose “direct to” next waypoint and “execute” all works well.
are you using the WT mod?
I don’t doubt that, but the problem is we are told to use stock each and every time there is an update to the sim. I do not use many addons because I do not want to troubleshoot whether the problem is in the sim or in the addon.
Step 2 of programming the FMS , only thing possible is doing the POS INIT.
this button did work in Release , SU1 , SU2 , SU3 and SU4 after that it got broken,
that’s why i keep on posting about it so that it can be fixed.
it would have been a different story if it never worked.
i used to have Mod’s, but due to bad updates where i had to uninstall mods to get it working, i decided to have no mod’s just stock MSFS.
The CJ4 with the WT Mod is an excellent , functional aircraft. It does take some time and effort to understand. Here are two things that helped me enormously:
If you use the WT mod for the CJ4, you don’t really need another plane :-). Excellent functionality in almost all aspects of IFR flying (holdings including entry procedures, VNAV, individual waypoints, directs, RNP approaches, performance calculations, import of Simbrief flight plans and IFR terminal charts from Simbrief on the cockpit screen etc.).
And because the CJ4 only needs short runways, you have a huge choice of aiports. What more could you want?
(And for heavy metal there is the A320 and soon the PMDG 737, which I am also waiting for ;-)).
i do not own a xbox but yeah xbox users would benefit from the fix too… it has been broken by Asobo and i want it fixed without using any mod. i payed for a working plane, not a plane that needs a mod to get it fixed , that’s Asobo’s work… only reason i would use a mod is to add extra features. the sim should be able to function without a mod coz that what i payed them for.
it used to work and now it doesn’t…
it’s like buying a ferrari from Asobo and 4 updates later the wheel get square and people start moaning about , yeah install a mod to make the wheels round again… No Asobo should fix their mistake…
Working Title are partners with Asobo. Eventually, the fix from Asobo that you are looking for is going to be the WT CJ4 mod. From what I have read, it will eventually replace the default CJ4. So, instead of complaining about it, it would be in your best interest to download and use the WT CJ4 mod.
