Problems with SID/STAR

Featured Replies

I recently bought the PMDG 737-600/700. I downloaded the new navigation files and the sid/stars. I put the sid/stars into the FS9/PMDG/Sidstar folder. The problem is that when I acces the DEP ARR page on the FMC, it shows no sid/stars. Other than that the navigation is fine. Someone please help!

What airport?

I am having trouble with all of the airports. I installed the sid/stars exactly like it said in the readme, but they still don't show up in the FMC.

OK, well hard to help since you don't say what's your procedure.After loading, describe exactly what you're doing.And give me please one specific airport on which you don't see the SIDs/STARs, I'll check it myself.

The instructions given in the readme said to unzip the download (the sid/star download from pmdg's website) into FS9/PMDG/Sidstars. This I did. I opened the fs9/PMDG/Sidstar folder and they are all in there. On my most recent flight out of KLAX, I programmed the FMC like normal. It got to the point in the preflight when I need to select my departure. I couldnt select a sid because they didnt show up on the FMC when I pressed . It is simply a blank list.

Hmm, I'm at a loss. Open KLAX.txt file in the SIDSTARS folder, and see if it contains various FIXes and TRANSITIONs, SIDs, STARs etc...I just checked mine, it's full of various stuff and in the KLAX, I was able to select some SID.And what you could also try is updating to the last AIRAC - download it from www.navdata.at.

I opened many airport .txt files and they all contain various fixes, transitions, sids, and stars. I have also updated the latest AIRAC.

Well, can't help you further then, no ideas unfortunately, PMDG will have to take this one :)Cya!

Thanks for your help. Hope I figure it out soon.
