PMDG 747 IN VISTA

[Guest patrouille2001]

Hi EverybodyI need help for the PMDG 747 for Fight Sim 2004. I have it installed using Vista and I cannot get the EFIS-Controls to work.I have tried always to click on the controls in EFIS to say bring up the airports and just cannot do anything.If I want to do a flight from say Gatwick to Newcastle I have to load the old way using flight Planner and keep on clicking the map view.Any help would be greatly apreciated in this matter.ThanksPaul

You probably need to use a flight planner like FS Build or FS Navigator ( FS9 only) and export the plans to PMDG,or find some existing flight plans on AVSIM to load. The native FS flight planner can perhaps be used as a guide, i.e. try using a VOR to VOR plan and write down the relevant waypoints and recreate them by rewriting them into your PMDG FMC. This is somewhat tedious which is why people use FS Build or FS Navigator.You could still use the SIDS and STARS in the FMC database for departures and arrivals.You still need to use the ICAO codes on the FMC for airport ID in your routes.Ron
