Re: SID/STAR/APPROACH free Database Project

Hi Francois,

I understand fully. Just responding to your request for input. I have been on vacation the past few weeks also. Have a great one.

Fred.

P.S. Remember, if you have time and are in the area, give me a call.

Re: SID/STAR/APPROACH free Database Project

Hi Airbus Fan, You will not see the files in the FMS because they add additional waypoints into the FSX database for the FMS to use. The way to tell if the waypoints are there is to bring up the KMORE SID you loaded for KSEA before and compare it with the picture you provide earlier in this thread. ...

Re: A380 FSX!

Many of us are using Thomas Ruth's A340 panel until a native FSX A380 panel comes along. Add a pop-up of Garrett Smith's FMC and you have quite a competent setup.

I have tried the FS9 panel on the A380 in FSX and find it has a noticeable FPS hit on my now 6 year old core 2 duo system. JMHO

Re: 717

Actually I said it was basically the default GPS with vertical elements added. If that can be construed as simple I was mis-understood.

I have also looked at Garrett's XML code and am impressed. My only point was that for the most part, FMCs that come with payware aircraft go farther.
