FS Build 2.0 for PMDG 737NG FMC with FS9

[cmpbellsjc 2,960]

Before I start I would like to thank Bruno Francescoli,Randy J. Smith,sj Mantel,and Timothy Metzinger for their help with my prior question about some FMC problems I was having. I do however have one other question for now. I tried the 20 session freebies that come with FSNavigator but wasn't all that happy with it. I was looking at FS Build 2.0 and it seems like it has more to offer, especially with the SIDs and STARs. My question is that on the FS Build web site it doesn't say anything about exporting flight plans for PMDG 737NG's FMC. It mentions that you can export for PMDG 777 and 757 for Fly!II but that is it. I just want to make sure it will for for 737NG's FMC before I plunk down the money for it. For those who have used both FSNav and FSBuild could you list some of the pro's and con's of each.Also do you have to be running FS9 to use FS Build. That is one thing I didn't like about FSNav is having to have FS9 running in order to create a flight plan.Thanks again,Sean Campbell

Sean:I am currently using FS Build 2.0 and it will export to the 737NG FMC just fine.However I also have FSNavigator and use it mainly for the moving map display (BTW, you can export FS Build to FSNavigator and have the flight plan displayed on the map).You've already answered the biggest question in that with FS Build you don't need FS9 running to build your plan. FS Build is well worth the money.Bob DemarestBirmingham, Al.

Sean: I can not thank you enough for the kind words but I really need to point out that Randy, Fred, and Tim basically taught me everything I know about our gorgeous bird.
