Sytax is the same used in the manuals.Any Ideas?ThxArt Vandalay

make a clean install of all.Maybe that works.Because most people how use a new product or a new update have some trobbles the first time. Install it and then re-install it.I do that mostly and it works.Hope it works,Ramon.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunatley this cannot be the problem. I just removed PMDG (with the latest PMDG-Remove-Tool) and re-installed it. Same problem again.Can anybody else confirm that my SID is of the right syntax and should work?Thx,Art

Hi Art,If you've copied that text directly from your SID file then the problem is you need to put a space between NOT and BEFORE. Should work fine then.Cheers,Shane

That text is not copied but created by myself according to RL-Charts (the ones included in SU2 for EDDP are wrong and incomplete) as many others create and update the SIDSTAR-Files because that reason.And are you really shure that the correct syntax is "NOT BEFORE" and not "NOTBEFORE". In the official manual (12.03.2003 by Terry Yingling) all examples say "NOTBEFORE" without space?Have you tested that? (I

No problem - the version of the manual i have is dated 12 dec 2003 and it definitely says NOT BEFORE with a space - maybe you have an older version? I know some of the syntax for SID's has changed with the release of SU2. Maybe this is one of them.Anyway, I'm still learning a lot about writing SID's - I'm in the middle of rewriting all the ones for EIDW as like many people I found that they didn't work quite how they should ;-)Does anyone know if there's somewhere on PMDG's website where we can post these or should we just put them up here is AVSIM?Cheers,Shane

I would prefer users uploading it to: http://www.navdata.at for having all SIDSTAR-Files in one place.
