Required Airspeed not showing in HUD

[sgilewicz]

Well I just spent two hours scouring the manual, this site and Google with no joy. I am working through the Maple Flag BFQ campaign and after entering my nav longitude, latitude, TOT and elevation the waypoint is created (ALL data entered via the CDU). Steerpoint dial is set to Mission and the Page dial is set to Other. The waypoint shows on the TAD but there is no required airspeed data on the HUD (No R value or delta data by the waypoint). It's probably something simple but I'm at a loss. Please help! Many thanks.

I haven’t tried it yet, but have you seen this video?

You might have your answer in a few minutes after watching it.

I did see that video GTFF. Thanks. Unfortunately it didn't have any information regarding my issue. I have been able to get the Required Airspeed to display on the HUD, but why is somewhat mysterious. I was entering all parameters into the CDU then naming the waypoint and pressing RSK 3. This created the waypoint but without both Required Airspeed and delta TOT. By pressing RSK 1 to enter the waypoint name I now see the R airspeed and delta TOT. I'm glad it's working but does anyone have an explanation why RSK 3 creates the waypoint without R and delta TOT data?

Did you enter DTOT?

I did. It seems related to how the waypoint is named. Pressing RSK3 after entering a waypoint name in the scratchpad is a no go for display of TOT data on the HUD. Pressing RSK1 after entering a waypoint name in the scratchpad seems to sort it out. I don't know why since the waypoint shows in the TAD both ways with the entered waypoint name. Puzzling!
