2 questions for you please.....!

[Guest mondriver]

Hi guys.....I'm very new to PIC 767, and as I fly a 757 in real life I have been very impressed with the quality and accuracy of this add on.I do have two questions I can't answer however, having searched this forum, and I apologise in advance if this has been hashed out in the past.....1. I fly in Europe, where we use Kilos instead of pounds. Is there a way to change the weight values from pounds to kilos?2. Where can I find/download somw FMC information for SID/STARS in and around Europe? Has anybody produced some "company routes" for instance Manchester to Malaga etc that can be accessed directly?Many thanks for anybodys help.....RegardsMondriver

Hi Mondriver and welcome to the 767PIC galaxy.To switch from Imperial to Metric, use the FS2K2 options menu, and choose your desired system. It will affect PIC FMC as well.For FMC plans and navdata visit http://www.navdata.at - it has a great database.Bye,Ilan

You will see a folder called FMCWP off of your FS2002 folder. Expand the folder and you will see the navdata folder, once you expand this folder you will then see the SIDS and Stars folder. This is where you need to place your files.Regards,Van LatendresseYeoDesigns Panel/FDE Designer

1. From the main FS2002 menu, click on Options/Settings/International and change the "Units of Measure" from US System to Metric. Of course, now you'll have to enter 111.1 as the default ZFW instead of 245,000 pounds.2. Another source for procedures is http://www.seaartcc.org/767pic/weps/weps.php?action=homeI'm very confident that the procedures on this site are correct but make sure to backup your entire NAVDATA folder before installing procedures. Then install the procedures into the appropriate Approach, SIDS, STARS, and flight plan folder.The 767 PIC Navdata is found in the FS2002/FMCWP/Navdata directory.Of course as a 757 pilot you'd be quite familiar with the FMC and would have access to the latest data; its rather simple to create your own procedures. The 767 PIC FMC manual gives step-by-step instructions on how to create and save procedures.
