Ok, I just started flying the 747 for DL now that I am able to fly it. I am having a big problem though. After programming the FMC, and i turn on LNAV after my climbout the plane flys directly to my waypoint, but then after it over flys that waypoint, it leaves it on the top of the legs page and doesnt erase and move on to the next waypoint. Then if i program the FMC to go "Direct to" the next waypoint it will fly to that next waypoint properly, but once it goes over the point it just does the same thing...over flys the waypoint and sometimes even goes off course.
Here is a video I made on the problem I was having. Don't mind any of the procedures because I didnt pay attention to that...I just mainly set the FMC and flaps to 20 and that was it. Make sure to clcik the diagonal arrow above the video to put the video in a new box to make it larger.

It should be up in 10 minutes of so
Thanks to anyone who can help!

It's weird though...whenever I do "Direct To" I draws the magenta line from my destination airport, not where I currently am. Could that have anything to do with it?

I know it's a shot in the dark, but try engaging VNAV when you engage LNAV.

I can create some sort of relationship - VNAV has crossing restrictions in the waypoints for the STAR you chose (I think) and LNAV is being confused by it or something, I don't know, but it is worth a try.

have you tried creating a flight plan from a sight like simroutes and import it into the FMC and see if it works?
