i use to fly 747-400 with PMDG, FSX, Windows 7. i would like to know for the solution about some issues facing now. first one is i use FMC to fly a course. ex. LFPG - EGGS. i programmed FMC with SID and STAR. now the issue is if the ATC ask me to change the RWY and SID entire FMC route i should change? if no, how i can replace that SID in FMC? other one is if ATC advice me to fly to any other STAR or changing of HDG due to the other traffic, how i can disconnect FMC and use autopilot only? if i disconnect FMC it is possible to connect it again from my current position where i am ? do FMC go back to the waypoints that passed ? it will be highly appreciated, if anyone can help with the right guidance, step by step as i am very new in FMC and PMDG

1. Just select a new SID/STAR/RWY - FMC will make the changes - you can check it for accuracy before you select execute.
2. LNAV button follows the FMC. Push the LNAV button so light goes out. Then you can click the center button for the heading bug, and dial in you new headings.
3. You can start using the FMC again, by pushing the LNAV button, you might have to fly an intercept course to one of the legs in the fp. I do believe you have to delete the waypoints that are behind you. The FMC is going to want to take you to the first waypoint in its list on the Legs page.
There may be alternative answers to exactly how you do things with FMC, but this is how I do it.
