Thanks, it's working for me now. I just hit the ";" key to save in FSX give it a name, then hit ctrl-shift-; and it saves the rcd file with the same name as the saved file...

ok. I clicked on the .flt/.wx button and pointed it to my documents/Flight Simualtor X Files folder. Now when I press ctrl-shift-; I see that it is saving, but I get no opportunity to name the file. I looking in the directory now I see a .rcd file, named 321-51264-v4 2 KBNA-KMEM-1$1.rcd. I loaded the RCD file and it brought back everything as advertised. Only issue now is the naming of the file...

Yep it's set to CTL-SHIFT-: But the tutorial on page 158 of the manual says press ";"... Might want to correct that for next release...

hi John,I did the second tutorial, and this time it made more sense. I was told to climb and maintain 15,000, then after a hand off or two I was given a "at or above 15,000, climb and maintain FL220". This made sense, the previous tutorial gave the confusing instruction "at or above 16,000 , climb and maintain FL200"....I'll rerun the tutorial again and listen very closely to see if I'm cleared to a higher altitude BEFORE I get the "at or above..." instruction.However, I have a new problem. In the second tutorial I got the save and load section. I hit the ";" and the fsx save window came up, I entered the "tut2 1 12m MKL FL220 Otto-me H100%" (with out the quotes) and hit OK. After reading the rest of the page about how you could shut everything down and come back to it later, I shut FSX and RC4 down. I came back today, fired up FSX and RC4, hit the "load previously saved .RCD" button, and was looking at a blank file directory! Thinking that perhaps the file was saved somewhere else besides the documentsFlight Simulator X Files directory, I did a search of the entire computer for *.RCD files....NADA...I do have three files with the name I saved under in the documentsFlight Simulator X Files directory.... .FLT, .FSSAVE and .WX

Just started FSX after many years, and just bought RC. (last version I had was RC99...lol) I've been trying to get re-aquainted with RC by following the tutorials. I'm still on the first one....First problem I had was the tutorial wants me to set the departure gate as B3. If I do that I end up out in the grass! I noticed that according to FSX the assignable gates are in either "A" or "D" terminal. I did try updating FSUIPC and makerunways., and rebuilding the RC databases. Same problem...I kind of fixed this by putting my plane at A3 and using A3 instead of B3 in the RC setup.So I have gotten to the departure phase in the flight, I've been handed off to departure, who had me climb to 12,000 then to 15,000. I've then been handed to Chicago center, which gave me the following instruction, "at or above 16 thousand, climb and maintain 200 thousand"... So is the controller telling me to climb to FL200 at a climb rate of 1600 vertical speed??Mike
