hey everyone!!! got another question for everyone out there....and who ever can answer it get a million us dollars (sure they are realy....just because it says monopoly on it doesnt mean anything ;) )has anyone run into any problems trying to use the converter from Terry Yuling that converts PIC fmc data over to PMDG data. i have tried to use it, but i will not reconize that i have the PIC data. so now i do not know what to do....can anyone here help me out???thanks!!!!!!!anthony miller

Anthony --I have had no problems, but I haven't used it extensively. As a note, you should have downloaded FMC SIDS/STARS from various websites(it gives the name(s) in Mr Yulig's readme file from the PIC converter). The default PIC information doesn't include any approaches, at least I don't think it does :-)Fred

fred, i have been in contact with Mr Yulig for about a week now, and we are getting it to work, i sugest that if anyone else has had any problems to let him know (that way i dont feel so bad about being the only one who is screwed up :) ). he is working on a patch for the converter at this time, other than that, we are getting it worked out....and thank you for the help!!! I have been to www.navdata.at very excelent website for any kinda of nav data!!! i would sugest it to anyone here! thanks for all the help!!!!!!!!!

Where can one get this convertor?I havent seen it anywhere?regards,Sean

I'm just making my own procedures from scratch by interpreting the charts. PIC didn't have any of the features that the NG has like the psuedo-waypoints, intercepts etc, and as such the procedures end up not being quite as complete as they can be if you make them yourself with all the NG specific features included... There really isn't even a need for an editor program for the NG's procedures because the syntax is so darn near close to just typing natural language. As soon as transitions and runway specific start/end legs are properly implemented, I'm gonna have a field day ;)Ryan
