I've tried to find the problem without repeating the same HELP question, that many of you have probably heard over and over, but with no luck. So here we go. Have patch installed. Downloaded the 308 version of NavData. Installed the files (all 6 of them) in the FS9 root directory as follows: FS9/FMCWP/NavData.However, when I try to insert a fix, I get the dreaded 'not in database' message. Sids and Stars work fine. Even went so far as to check the Fix text file to see if what I was trying to insert was there. Also tried to follow the tutorial that Tim Metzinger made available with no luck. Otherwise, I'm having a great time with this aircraft. I'm fully prepared to be called an idiot (retired truckdriver, so I've been called worse) if it turns out to be something simple. Tried reloading the database and even tried the 309 version with no luck. Any suggestions? Reload the entire aircraft? John Fitzpatrick

Hi John,did you accidentally create a duplicate folder, for example 'FS9/FS9/FMCWP/Navdata'? Are the folders correctly named, e.g. 'navdata', rather than 'Nav Data'? That's the only thing I can think of at the moment :).Cheers,Gosta.http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg

Nope, I had double and triple checked the 2 items you mentioned. I think tomorrow the dreaded 'not in database' will be replaced with the dreaded reinstall of the entire aircraft. It can be a cruel world sometimes. John Fitzpatrick
