I may have stumbled on a missing airport. I tried to fly to KARM Wharton, TX and RC wouldn't recognize it. Naturally I had flown the entire flight and only realized it when RC failed to start bringing me down from FL360. Yeah, I know I should have noticed there was no airport listed before I took off, but...I didn't. After using FSX ATC to land, I did another flight plan out of KARM, and again RC wouldn't recognize it, so just for fun I tried starting at another tiny airstrip in Wharton (which won't handle the Cessna Mustang), and that worked and RC even let me use 5R5 as an alternate. 5R5 is the name KARM used to go by, however in the real world and in FSX it is now KARM.Bill

It sounds like you are using database files generated for FS2004 (which has 5R5) instead of FSX (KARM). You will need to run the database rebuild process for FSX specifically.RegardsPete

Are you talking about the Scenery Rebuild Button? I'm not sure why I would have the FS9 data base in the FSX version, since I have both (& and a seperate RC for FS9), but I'll try it.

Make sure in your RC installation for FSX all paths point to it. Do the same when the dialog box opens in RC asking for the path. Make sure you execute it from within RC's FSX install and not directly from the FSX folder otherwise files will not get copied and generated accordingly.You can check its FSX version success by going into your RC for FSX folder and then the "data" folder under it. Using only a text editor like Notepad open a4.csv to get a listing of airports that you can search. Do NOT save any file examined this way.

Thanks for the help guys...that worked! I've been using RC for alomost a year and updated it once, but have no idea how FS9 data got into it.Bill
