Trouble with the FMC Flight Planning

[andrew89898 0]

Hi, I was just watching a FSX Genius video on how to choose SIDS and STARS. He was using the program Flightsim Commander so I used that and vatRoute to plan my short flight from LFPG to EGLL. Here is my route: LFPG OPALE UT421 KESAX UT426 DIMAL UT10 ALESO EGLL. I will be taking off from 27L at LFPG then use sid OPAL3D as it ends at OPALE. I then will use BIG3B star as it starts at ALENSO and takes me to big. I will then need to use the BIG transition to the runway which in my case based on wind is ILS27L or ILS27R. As I was entering this into the NGX FMC, The big transition was not there, only the other ones. Have I done something wrong? Also my nav data is out of date, It says it is Aug/Sep 2013.  I am sure when I was using the FMC before I saw the BIG transition.

If you need any other information, I can provide it. Sorry for the repost, You can close the other thread please. As when I was starting the thread it said service unavailable so I tried again.

Thank You.

The BIG initial approach transition shows up in my FMC.

Ensure that the NG and FSC are using the same version of Navdata. You can update both of them for a small fee at http://www.navigraph.com/FmsData.aspx

Hi, Andrew,

 

Very unlikely that there are not several BIG stars,even if your database is a little out of date.  Can you post  screen shots of your flight plan and arrival pages?
