December 20, 200223 yr 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
December 20, 200223 yr 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
December 20, 200223 yr Hi,good to hear that you love the program like I do too.For the Navdata1. As the guy said before or2. the Navdata update from Jase at the Wilco Download Area herehttp://wilcopub.com/Download.htmFor the flightplans:1. You can search the Flight Plan Forum in here: http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...conf=DCConfID10or2. Use FS-Buildhttp://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/a...er1/fsbuild.htmIt
December 20, 200223 yr Thanks so much guys for your replies....I've downloaded the zip files for the SID's Star's and approaches, but I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss as to where I place them!!!Sorry....bit new to all this....flying the real bird is sooo much easier !!Thanks all
December 20, 200223 yr 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
December 20, 200223 yr 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.
