June 17, 200916 yr A call for help !!!Any advice on how to Load SID/STARS data to ARIANE 737 800 X2 will be much appreciated.ThanksJoel :( :(
June 17, 200916 yr not possible although they claim to be working on an update that will allow new sid/star data
June 17, 200916 yr You can manually create them and place them on a flight plan if you have the relevant data, but of course they would not be in the SID/STAR database, but part of a flightplan, so if you really want to fly them you can, but it'll take a bit of work to create them. To do that, you simply put custom waypoint locations into discontinuities to build the SID/STAR routing. Actually I quite like doing that, but I know others will not be similarly disposed, so it is a definite limitation at the moment, albeit one you can work around for the most part, except on approach where you might need time to get one set up if it is a surprising STAR you were not expecting.On the way is a Navigation Database Manager (see Ariane website for more info on the NOTAMS bit). The NDM will apparently be a standalone application where you can create SIDS, STARS and other procedures and dump them into the aircraft's FMC in the same fashion that it is done in the real world, so that could be quite promising. However, there is no date on the NDM's release (supposedly soon), but it aint going to be free, and they've not named a price other than to say it will be 'affordable', but since the Ariane 737 is 70 quid, theirs and your ideas of what constitutes affordable may not coincide.Al Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

October 14, 200916 yr Or more simple just import the FSX flightplan with sids and stars ;-)Not if created in FS Build. When the flight plan is loaded the Ariane nav uses waypoints from the limited database so you end up with off track legs 1000's of nm away because it has used a waypoint in another location. Why it could simply accept the waypoint verbatim boggles. Even the default GPS will accept them.
