Thanks for your reply, I had run FS Registry repair a number of times, but never realized I was not running it on the proper file(I am a technically challenged oldtimer), thanks to your post, I looked hard at what I was doing and got it right. If I had ran it right the first time it would have saved alot of time wasted of my own and the people trying to help. Thanks to everyone who tried to help, and I hope I won't repeat my mistakes. Thanks everyone! George Wallace

Nothing I have done so far has had any affect on the problem. I'm starting to think this will be an unsolved mystery. Very frustrating at the least. GW

I have posted this problem on the Legacy Forum and have not solved this problem so far. My PMDG fmc (FS9) does not update mag/var, when i look at nav data page 4L always shows E0.0, I know for example klas should be W12.4 which makes everthing offset after I leave the ground. I have uninstalled FS9 and pmdg and reloaded clean copy with no luck, also ran registry fix although anything to do with registry is way above my pay grade. I have checked magdec file to make sure it work in FS and it give correct headings when I am on the ground. Any help will be welcome. Thanks George Wallace

I ran registry repair or at least I think I did, It came back with some message I didn't understand but it was not an error message. Disabled all add on senery and checked folders (empty). I don't understand why I don't have a magvar in navdata(4L), If i position my plane on 7L, klas vor shows on rwy center line, but if I go to 25R klas vor shows 12 to 14 degrees to the right of center line(appr 270 heading) GW

Uninstalled everything FS on my computer and reloaded clean fs9 and clean 737-800 with no help @#@%$$$#!!, can someone tell me what their FMC shows on Navdata page at 4L(magvar) when klas is entered at airport ident (2L), mine shows E 0.0 Thanks, George Wallace

Thanks for your time, I may have to bite the bullet and uninstall and re-install to narrow it down. thanks again GW

With the plane at rwy 25L and approach programed the ND track reads 256, the legs page shows 270 from prino to 25L, the magenta line is 270, and the ils on PFD reads l-rle/270. The departure headings are also off-set by 14 degrees. thanks George Wallace

I have two or three older files that I got when they were free, I think I am using 1013 right now, I have modified this file in the past to add waypoints and runways, but not recently. I feel like it is something to do with loading FSX or x-plane demo althought I don't know how that would affect it. Its almost like FMC is reading the mag declination from somewhere else. Fs9 seems to to be reading mag/dec correctly. Thanks for your reply, George Wallace

I have had pmdg 737ng for a number of years with no problems, recently my FMC approach headings are off by the mag/declination of the airport, at KLAS 25L Fmc gives the heading 270 degrees from PRINO to 25L. It has always been 256 degrees before. I have checked mag/dec file and updated with no help, when I disabled mag/dec it moved rwy heading to 242 degrees but FMC still gave heading from PRINO to rwy as 270 degrees??? I did not have this problem before I installed FSX and X-10 demo, Is there a connection with those installs?? FS9 flight planner seem to have right headings. Thanks George Wallace

When I bought a new system it came with WIN7, I loaded my FS9 and PMDG 737, when I was on XP my mouse wheel would change the knobs on the APU just by rolling it, now I have to click the buttons to change setting. Is this normal, it is a pain to adj. V/S. thanks George Wallace
