Oh sorry ... believe me, it was certainly not my intention to blame someone here, i only was curious why there was no reference of the events mentioned in my initial post, because i was not aware of the established policies for announcements. Now i know it and i fully accept that and am quite fine with it. But at the end please allow me one remark: i consider - and surely many others do so - Avsim and (forgive me) FlightSim as premium sites in flight simulation affairs and i regularly browse the frontpages of both sites to look for the latest news, rumors and randoms. But if there is no mention of some relatively important incidents, the feeling might arise, that this events passed by Avsim without being recognized or worse, are being ignored. Yours sincerely, Dietrich Stoeckl

Dear editorial team of AVSIM, recently i was somewhat marveled, that there was no evidence at all about 2 key announcements of the X-plane world on the front page of your otherwise outstanding site: the IXEG 737-300 on April, 24th and EADT x737 on May 1st. Maybe that I missed it somehow, if so please apologize. Dietrich Stoeckl

Many thanks Dave, I wonder where the nav database is stored: inspecting the installation directory of P2A I couldn't see any evidence of a navigation database. I am asking this, because, while creating a flight plan, some important fixes i.e. an endpoint of a SID (which is available in X-Plane airac cycle 1413) was not found in the P2A database. For me, there is no hurry with v2, therefore give yourselves time :wink: Dscho

Hello all, I am just testing the trial and it looks very promising to me, so that I likely would buy a licence. But I still have 2 questions: 1. Which navigation database does P2A use - is it possible to use / link to Navigraph? 2. If I buy the current version now, would then be an upgrade to v2 available, or should I wait until v2 is out? Thank in advance for any hints, Dscho

It depends on the scenery you have installed. I have Austria Professional 2004 and Austrian Airports and there is for Linz only ILS for RWY 26 implemented. Maybe you can find here on AVSIM a scenery for Linz where also ILS for RWY 08 is present. regards

On the CD of the product are some PDF files, one of it is entitled Manual_English.pdf, and there at pages 34 to 45 is an "Introductory Flight" from EDLP (Paderborn/Lippstadt) to EDDH (Hamburg) where you can find all you want to know about the aircraft. regards

sorry for posting my issue at the wrong place -_- . The SID i tried to fly is at Vienna, LOWW, RWY 34, SID UMBIL 1D. For conveniene i attach the .rte file for this flight - i tried, but obviously it is not permitted to attach such type of file, therefore i include the route in text format: ID FREQ TRK DIST Coords Name/Remarks LOWW 0 0 N48°06'37.00" E016°34'11.00" WIEN SCHWECHAT UMBIL 224 60 N47°21'11.95" E015°36'04.21" UMBIL GRZ 116.2 198 25 N46°57'19.32" E015°26'57.95" GRAZ LOWG 353 2 N46°59'35.00" E015°26'21.00" GRAZ INTERNATIONAL Tracks are magnetic, distances are in nautical miles. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LOWW SID UMBIL M725 GRZ STAR LOWG regards, Dietrich Stoeckl

Hello, i tried to fly a SID, where the 1st waypoint is 2nm in RWY direction, the 2nd waypoint is 5nm further, but a 110deg left turn has to be flown - from 340 deg RWY heading to 227 deg of the second leg. At about 1000 ft above ground i switched on the AP and pressed the LNAV and VNAV buttons. After reaching the 1st waypoint the AP tries a liitle bit to turn left, then right, once again left/right and after all it flies straight forward in RWY heading and after a while the LNAV light distinguishes. The ND (Navigation Display) shows a pretty nice arc, which unfortunately is not followed. Are the first 2 waypoints tool far away from each other? I used the Navigraph Database from November last year for building the flightplan. Thanks in advance for any useful hints. Dscho
