July 24, 200421 yr I just wanted to say thanks to the development group for producing the 737NG product. Up until now, I've using PS1 747-400 for getting the feel of the FMC, and now, at last, I can move away from it and achieve what I want within FS2004. Although PS1 is excellent in many ways, it is showing its age in terms of graphics and usability on modern systems: I was delighted to discover virtually all of the functionality to be available on the 737. Money well spent! (as was the 800/900 upgrade)I hope that you don't mind a couple of newbie questions.Firstly, is there some way of finding which airfields have available SID/STAR's (and maybe even transitions) at the flight planning stage? I'd like to establish a route to use while I'm learning the software that has these, that is within the UK/Ireland and that is operated by the correct aircraft and carrier. At the moment, I can't see how to find if an airfield has SID/STAR's until the DEP/ARR page - which means I'm probably missing something.Secondly, does the latest navdata cycle contain DEP/ARR info for ALL world airfields, or just some, and if so, how do I find out which ones? I also wondered if there was anywhere that SID/STAR's can be downloaded for a specific airfield?Enough questions for one day - thanks for any help or advice available, and once again, thanks for the impressive software.Daniel Hall
July 24, 200421 yr Daniel,Provision of the SID/STAR files as part of the NAVDATA AIRAC distibution can be a bit hit and miss. Try the following site to download known airports:http://homepage.ntlworld.com/simon.butler2...usefulfiles.htm
