Boys, I

Andres,>>-where are my landing/taxiing lights switches??Overhead panel, lower left hand corner>>-how do I use the downloaded flight plans??What downloaded flight plans?? You can enter a flight plan into the FMC or use the conversion utility for some of the other flight plan add-ons.Georgehttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/betaimg.jpg

Thanks a lot,George but... where can I find that Conversion utility you mention? I cannot find it in the 737 folder. :-hmmm Andres

To clarify, if you download a flightplan, and the extension is .pln, then use (http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004util&DLID=35385) to convert the flightplan to .rte format(the PMDG FMC format). Then, once the flightplans are in .rte format(you may have downloaded the flightplans in .rte format, if that is the case then skip the above step), move the .rte plans to the {FSdir}PMDGflightplans directory. In FS, to load up the plan you need to enter the flightplan filename, minus the .rte extension, on the RTE PAGE, then LSK it to the COROUTE line. Basically, if you have a flightplan named EGLLKLAX001.rte, enter EGLLKLAX001 and LSK it to 3L(I think it is 3L)

Thanks a lot, Fred for your "mini" tutorial!!!Most helpfulAndreu
