Hi, the manual is very technical and as real as it gets, however there are a few "elementary" things I want to know and didn't find.First of all I don't succeed in getting the ICAO airport codes in the FMC. Always 'not in database' is prompted although I have all the latest XXXX.txt files in my PMFG/sid-star folder. How do I import a .rte file in my FMC?Any help is appreciatedCheers

Hello, please be sure to sign your name to your post (s), thank you. You need to have NAVDATA installed. You can get the latest and LAST airac cycle here: http://w53114421.user-h20.atplus.net/downl...C-PMDG_0312.zip If you have FS9 you will need to make a "FMCWP" folder and NAVDATA inside that. Run the installer and extract to the NAVDATA folder and you should be good to go...[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smithhttp://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/196432/winglets_lg.jpg

There are two (that I know of) tutorials available - they are both quite good. You can find them athttp://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?DLID=34250andhttp://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?DLID=35813The second one is more advanced.Oh and you will need the latest NAV data from herehttp://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?DLID=35861Hope this helpsScottYBTL

Thanks Randy and Scott,Sorry for no signature but I didn't remember there was no automatic one in this forum.I didn't know about the subfolder in FS2004. I'll try the tutorials. Hopefully they are better than the extremely technical PMDG ones.CheersRobert
