spesimen's post in FMC Spaghetti SIDS and STARS was marked as the answerthe data is not incomplete.
you get the points from TNP to BASET by selecting TNP as the transition when you select the STAR.
it is sort of moot since the point of that star is that you get vectors from REEDR to southwest of the airport and back around from atc. there is no way you could decend from the 9000 ft crossing restriction at REEDR and land at the ILS25 that is less than 5nm away.
take a look at the chart for BASET3 and you will see the final step is to cross REEDER at 9000 at heading 210 and you will get vectors to 6/7 . (chart is at http://www.airnav.com/airport/KLAX )
in the data in the fmc this also shows up, after REEDR you will see an (INTC) entry followed by a (VECTOR) entry.
it is also sort of moot as you wouldn't get TNP direct from KLAS either, although BOACH6 has a TNP transition.
PFPX is a great tool!! but do not trust it blindly!!! it does not necessarily have all these details which is why it is useful to look at the real world routes. especially if you are still learning how all this stuff works.
PFPX has not a complete understanding that this STAR is used for 6/7 because it is not technically an official requirement, it does a better job with european stars in this area where there is typically only one STAR per runway instead of a STAR that ends in vectors which is very common at large USA airports.

spesimen's post in Heading and course changes on the MCP on taxi out. was marked as the answerif you are using pro-atc there is an option to enable/disable that behavior. i guess it is intended to help you find your way to the runway by changing the heading towards the holding point.

spesimen's post in Long beep during take off? was marked as the answerit looks like you are only using about 50% power to take off? i think it will warn if you have such low power settings unless you are configured for landin..ie flaps, and gear down..maybe just gear...you'll notice that when you retract it is when the beep starts, not when you rotate.
that also explains why you are struggling to maintain Vr and just barely above stall speed, when you should be accelerating quite a lot more during that phase. push the power levers to the full detent (90%) and see how it goes. really there is no reason to reduce them from full power until you reach cruise.

spesimen's post in No vor dme approach option was marked as the answerthere's some recently updated charts at http://charts.portugal-vacc.org/#LPMA
he even mentions in the video that FUNOR no longer exists and shows up as ABUSU in the fmc
also he does some cool manually added waypoints for the 6DME turn point and rosario point, presumably those aren't in the FMC data since it's a visual approach at that point and those are just additional references
good luck

spesimen's post in FSX:SE Keeps Asking Permission to Run EXE was marked as the answeri'm not 100% sure but maybe try changing the <launch.manuaload> section to false:
<Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>

spesimen's post in Quick RNAV / LNAV question before I buy was marked as the answerfor me it turned slightly inside OGDUS when i tried it, but was fairly well lined up by DERGO and was well stabilized by the time i was near decision height. i flew it with vnav also which probably isn't correct according to the plate lol.. one thing to notice, it is slightly off centerline, but i think that is a scenery issue and i couldn't find an updated afcad for cymx... (saw the exact same issue when trying CYUL last week and the ILS would line you up slightly off center, but was fixed with an AFCAD from the avsim files)..
anyway the video link will be here, it's got 45minutes of uploading time left so check back later
