New Owner's FSBuild Questions

Featured Replies

Hi,I have some questions about FSBuild2.1(just purchased!), and would appreciate any advice you can offer. If you think this post would be better addressed to the FSBuild forum, please say so, but I know there is a lot of experience with this program right here. I have read through the user guide(quickly) and performed a forum search, but I haven't found any answers yet. Anyway, here goes...1. After a clean install of the downloaded program, I notice that many of the data files in the FSBuild main directory are duplicated in the UserGuide subdirectory, eg EuropeHighAlt, FSB_SIDs, etc, etc. Why is this? Can I remove the ones in the UserGuide subdirectory?2. I've also downloaded the update, fsbupdates.zip from the FSBuild site. Do I unzip all the files into the main FSBuild directory, overwriting any files of the same name?3. In order to install the latest AIRAC cycle, do I also unzip this file into the FSBuild main directory, overwriting files once again?4. When building a flightplan, I noticed that there are a number of airways which do not display a route(ie intersections) in the route box, for example, J84(round about the Chicago area). Why is this? Does this mean that they cannot be used in a flight plan, because they have no named entry/exit points? Is it possible to address this problem?5. Some intersections have ID, but no names in the flightplan table/grid, for example SAKES. Is this a simple error? Can I correct it(perhaps by updates, as above?)?I'm looking forward to getting to know FSBuild much better in the weeks ahead.Thanks in advance,BR,Frank

Hi!You probably realize this already, but just in case... you posted to the wrong forum. Not trying to tell you what you can and can't do. That's not my place. Just trying to be helpful!Murray

Sure, thanks, Murray.You will notice from other posts seeking advice on flight planners that there are quite a number of experienced FSBuild users here, so I didn't think it was any harm to ask how they performed updates, and if they noticed any anomalies like the ones above?BR,Frank

Okay guys, going to post this on the FSBuild forum.I must say I am very surprised that noone here has had any practical advice to offer on these issues.BR,Frank

I have responded to your post on the fsbuild forum.Regards.Ernie.
