Hello to all!I'm new to the forum, but have been flying the 737 for some time now, and am looking forward to the release of the 747 with baited breath...I just have one question about the 737 though...when I load the plane in FS, the AIRAC database has to rebuild every time I load the plane...is this normal? I thought that any new AIRAC cycle would amend a central file which would be loaded on plane selection, instead of FS having to load the entire AIRAC cycle again...I don't know of any other addon that does this. Can anyone offer some advice??Many thanks,ace2029

Ms ace2029Welcome to the forum.Please take some time to read the forum rules!The AIRAC is not rebuilding each time you load the NG. The progress bar you see is the database loading from harddrive to memory. This is done to increase performance while flying as has been explained before. Ans yes it is normal the first time you load the NG in an FS-session. The AIRAC files are not something used by FS but rather by some more advanced add-ons.Hope it helps,

Hi Mats SAS526,Thanks for the quick reply; what you said makes a lot of sense; thanks for the advice!! One little thing though, it's Mr, not Ms :)Thanks again!ace2029

I think what Mats was getting at is the forum rules ask you sign your real name below each post. Saves making mistakes like that.Just a friendly bump before a sig block natzi gets a hold. :):):)

Hi,Thanks for the advice...will remember that in future!Andy Curry
