Hello again and sorry to bother. I was able to keep my battery going long enough to learn to use the FMC by pausing the sim while I wait for my FSUIPC reg. #. Anyway, I am not seeing any departures from KSTL but can see arrivals in to KCLT. I did POS INIT to KSLT...no problem. I hit ROUTE and put KSTL from the scratchpad in to origin airport (LSK L1). This got "KSTL err 35: rwy unkonwn" in the scratchpad. Then I CLR and keyed KCLT and put that in to departing, LSK R1. Then, DEP/ARR followed by LSK L1 (Dep.). This gets 1/1 displayed in the top right, KSTL Depatures on top, and no lines (SIDs) displayed. As I mentioned above, if I go back to DEP/ARR and hit LSK R1 (arr.), it lists 1/3 pages of STARS with runways.As far as I know, I have the files (0309) in the right place. Please forgive my ignorance, i.e. I'm sure it's sim_pilot error, but does someone know what I'm doing wrong? Many many thanks in advance.Sam Mantel, IIIKEWRP4, 3.2Ghz, 800FSB, 875P chipset1Gb DDR400 RAM (512Mb x 2)ATI 9800Pro 256MbSoundblaster Audigy 2Mitsubishi 21" DiamondPro CRTMS FF2 joystickWinXP Pro SP1FS9, PMDG 737NG, CS727, Realair C172, FSGenesis 38m USA mesh, Megascenery New York area (soon, I hope!)

Sorry, it's working now. I installed 0310 and the 0309 sidstar file from PMDG's web site. The KSTL.txt file I started with said 0308 but listed the SIDs so I'm not sure what was going on. Happy to keep going in the tutorial though. Nothing like a working or paused battery!Sam
