With the release of SP1b I see that SIDs and STARs are not being loaded into the FMS. My question is though, if I import my plan into the FMS can I then edit them in or should I take the route inputs from the plan and manually build the entire route using the SIDs and STARS in the FMS?Thanks

Please sign your name to your post, it's a forum rule.You can either load the plan then add SID/STARs manually, or you can hand-build it.

If you use the cdu to add the Sid/star & save it they'll be present when you load that coroute

Sorry Eric, I am new to this forum and in fact haven't even gotten the AC off the ground yet. Is there somewhere that I set my signature or just type my name?Phill

It's in your profile settings in the upper right corner of the page

Thanks but I don't have any option to edit, I copied the link as described in the banner posting into a box that says what's on your mind but don't think that was corerct.Phill

So now that I have the signature issue resolved, thanks for the responses to my question, I am downloading the trial version of FS Commander to try this weekend.

Phil,

Not sure if i understand your question properly but i am using fsc to build my complete flightplan (with or without sid/star) and then do a save as .........

If you have setup the paths correctly in fsc you can then input this complete route with all its waypoints by selecting the same name as company route (on the route page).

The route gets loaded into the fmc and you will be read to fly in no time (only remaining pages of weight and n1 needs to be filled in)

Is this what you are looking for?
