It might just be a typo in the tutorial. Cause I got a different error all together when a waypoint/route was not in the database. This error is purely procedural. You're putting in a airway/waypoint combo that does not fit with what was already in the route. So you're getting an error when you type UL603/BASNO and enter it at LSK2R in the DESIG waypoint page? This is after you already set the SID via the departure page by clicking the runway and SID FIRST, correct? Cause if you're entering the route directly as it's listed in the boxed area on page 18 without entering the sid first you will have errors. Remember it's different than programming a Boeing or even the Aerosoft A320. You have to enter Airway/Waypoint. Not the reverse. So if you went direct off the route list you'll get an error because it lists DESIG/UL603 and you need to enter UL603/BASNO on the DESIG page. If you wanted to enter direct from a route without entering a SID first, the first waypoint (in this case DESIG) needs to be entered by itself (see picture at bottom of page 21) and then you'd use the airway/waypoint function as previously mentioned to enter the rest of the route. Remember, if adding airways to your route it's airway/waypoint, not the reverse.

You are either putting in the wrong waypoint for the route or misspelling something. That error only comes if the waypoint you are entering is either incorrect or not part of the route you have listed. I had this issue myself until I realized I was reading from the wrong part of the route and trying to start the airway with the staring waypoint from the previous airway. This can also happen if the route you are trying to enter contains new airway information/waypoints that are not in the older AIRAC data. If you do AIRAC updates from Navigraph or Aerosoft's Navdata Pro, you can update the AIRAC for Blackbox using the PSS navdata. I find that usually solves any issues i have with route entry. Bottom line, it's not a bug, it's intended functioning to prevent route anomalies (thus preventing repeats of American 965).

Page 151 in the PMDG-777-Introduction.pdf has a list of new/changed features.

Except we're not talking natural law. Neuton's law does not always apply to the digital world. Considering it can be constructed to directly overrule that law. :)

Are you trying to get your email and phone number on a spam list Remy? Enjoy getting emails and phone calls from people trying to sell you adult entertainment products? If not, I really would suggest NOT putting your personal contact information on a public forum for bots to take and add to their spam databases. Or dont. Just trying to save you a heck of a lot of heartache.

No such thing exists. I suggest you make friends with a sim operator at your airline.

I have both the 737NGX and the Airbus Extended. I love them both. While I agree, systems wise, the Airbus can't compete with the NGX in terms of complexity. But in terms of enjoyment, both have a permanent place in my hangar. I love them both, it's hard to pick one over the other as they both have much to offer the user on many different levels.

That sounds like bad navdata... not really an issue with the plane.Not really bad, just out of date. Or different than the one you were using before the update.Airports DO change runway designations and ils frquencies over time. The updated navdata obviously updated an old ils frequency.In any case, I'm using the evolution with the most recent airac update (1105) from navigraph and don't have the same issue.

I only chimed in about the comment that the hud was a gimmick. I never defended wilco or its product. There's a vast difference between advocating buyer awareness and being a wilco fan boi.And it would seem there's enough sticks up a lot of peoples bums in this thread to go around.

You just proved his point. Your picture not only shows the pic flying manually, but also completely focused on the HUD and not the main instrument panel.The autopilot has no need for a hud so there's no need to use it while otto has the con.And it would be my guess that the fullscreen is meant to simulate the eye focus on the hud. Kind of how the ifr shades block the outside view. Its meant as an enhancement.

It has the same functionality of their three pervious offerings.All three say the same thing about the hud functionality.No where did it even hint that the vc had a functional hud. You just placed the meaning you wanted on 'full screen'.I am no fan of wilco. I bought one product from them and no other. Advertising creativity is not something created by wilco. We've had their products available for a while now and if you bought this program expecting functionality you created from your own interpretation of what something should mean as opposed to what it actually meant... especially when said product has been offered without modification three times before by the same company... that's all on you and your failure to be an educated consumer.We will never stop creative advertising. Wilco isn't the only payware company to use it. So its up to you to know what you buy before you buy it.And giving me a breakdown on bad programming has nothing to do with the point I made. Be mad about that all you want to, I never said it was a flawless product! :) I own the first version... I know about their programming 'skill' or lack thereof. :)

I'll never understand how customers 'wishful-thinking' approach to interpretation of product features equals misadvertisement.Since when in this community in any product, freeware or payware, has 'full screen' been the same thing as VC? It hasn't. I can get confusion between full screen and windowed mode as opposed to full screen and 2d panel... but full screen meaning vc? Ah, no.Especially since their previous products with a HUD functioned the same way as described in this product. Take a little responsibility for being an informed consumer. I did and understood exactly what they were talking about./Rant off

HUD's have been options on commercial aircraft for years now. They're on the boeing next gen 737s, 747-8is, and 787s and options on all airbus' and embraer aircraft.So they're not just for f16s anymore and certainly not 'gimmicks'! :)

The HUD sounded to me like the same functionality as the HUD provided in the Emb135/45 v2 product. Meaning that full-screen (press W) mode in 2-D panel and limited use with main panel showing.Though I didn't expect it to be different than the other products that Wilco/FeelThere produced. They share a great deal of features.

I only fly with the 2D Cockpit and I can verify that I don't have the GPWS callouts either. FS9 by the way.
