Looking better and better!

Hmmm, yes I can spot a couple of discrepancies:a)Apparently you are already modelling the Olympic-Airways-gone-bust model because I see no OA aircraft at the airport.b)My LGAV sits 2 feet higher than yours.Nothing much apart from that...except that I didn't know that people in the developement team of FS2006 were allowed to post screenshots... :-hah

Lefteris,Looking Real Good there. Brilliant that Intercepts are modelled.Will we be able to make our own Procedures for the FMC from charts?Keep up the good work.I might just fly something other than the 767.;-)

Mark-this is the test SID/STAR file I wrote in 10 minutes:

Thanks Lefteris.Now I can get accurate custom procedures till my hearts content.

Mark-I firmly believe the SID/STAR syntax is the single most well-done item on the FMC to-date. It's absolutely incredible - Anthony EXCELLED on it!You'll have endless hours of fun with it, I am sure!

Lefteris,Another feature that impresses me about this is that you can have all SID/STAR/Approach procedures in one data file.Another Q - Will NDB/VOR/GPS approaches be able to be programmed the same as an ILS approach - I assume Yes.Take a look at www.b737.org.ukThere is a link on the front page that gives a good step by step run thru of the FMC. Also shows how to trick the FMC into displaying ALTN airports and Nearest Airports.

No offence with this, but thats not how the real 737NG cockpit/FMC looks.......everything looks kinda LOW quality....night lighting looks as I just told you, of LOW quality and too much yellow color & blue.......I hope you can improve the quality before the release.Regards,

Mauro-well, I will let our beta testers remark on this... For some people, no matter HOW MUCH you tell them this is a screenshot of "WORK-IN-PROGRESS" or that a screenshot diminishes quality because of JPG compression, and all the rest that people KNOW about already, they will keep complaining...That said, thanks for your feedback, it's valuable to us.

Lefteris,I think that the colour of the buckle on the right seat harness isn't quite right. It should be kind of more blueish pinkish whitish if you know what I mean. At least more black. Is this really what the finished product will look like?!? I really can't believe you are gonna release an unfinished product before it is finished. I know all this becuase I have been a captain on the 737NG for over 20 years!!!I WANT MY MONEY BACK! :)Krister

This may have already been answered but will the data in the FMC be updateable with the latest AIRAC via the navdata.at site? I read somewhere before on the is forum that there have been talks with the owner of the website. Thanks. Also will PMDG be issuing semi-regular updates of the SID/STAR database? Thanks

Eric-The FMC will indeed be compatible with the AIRAC updates....I'll get back to you on the SID/STAR database question. I would assume "Yes" but to be honest it hadn't come up in my mission plan yet- so I hadn't thought about it until you brought it up. :-lol

Guys - this is totally freaking awesome! Thank you thank you thank you for giving us the ability to make our own procedures like that - that is by FAR the simplest looking syntax for doing it that I've ever seen. I'll be able to release a custom file within a day or two on the VATSIM ZAB ARTCC site for our airspace - Virtual Southwest will pleased indeed! The support for the psuedo waypoints is just incredible to finally see done right. I take it missed approach procedures are supported and just as easy to do as well?Folks, I'll say it again - FS2002 is about to get its 767PIC... ;) Can't wait to buy this!Ryan

hehehe :)looking sweet guys.And errr Tabs,... maybe you heard maybe you didn't but FS2004 is gonna get it's 767PIC back in a while.But of course: looking forward to this release aswellCheers

Can it handle procedure turns?Alaister
