PMDG 738
EHM-0654 Murray:
Bruno, can you be a little more specific?
I've never seen errors like this out of the navdata AIRACs...
A specific ICAO that you are seeing this with might help us locate/report this.
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Ok.
I have the PMDG 737-600/700 and I downloaded from the navdata.at the latest SID/STAR package to LPPT only.
So, I installed it on the directory SIDSTARS inside the "fs9"/PMDG directory as it tells on the manual.
So, I started FS2004, and when I choose DEP/ARR and write LPPT on the FMC, i got that error. ... They say that I must report it, but I think that they already know about. I don't believe that I am the first person to see that error in "thousands" of people that use the PMDG :) ... well maybe not.
Regards,

The Navdata updates are worldwide (I thought). Is it the current cycle you're talking about (0505 if mem serves... Can't get to navdata.at at the minute)?

Good - just clicking next through the insatller is usually the best idea...

Ah, OK. The PMDG FMC works just like the real Smiths Industries unit, so are you remembering to do all the boring "initialisation" first, like setting the origin and so forth before you even try setting up the flight plan (let alone the DEP/APP)?
There is a definite process that needs to be followed if your going to use the FMC, and unfortunately you can't skip over any of the steps.
I'm at work so can't "play" with this, but once I get home (an hour from now...) I'll replicate and test as best I can.
EHM-0654 Murray:
Ah, alles ist klare...
The PMDG FMC updates are in two parts
[*]the NAVDATA cycles (from navdata.at, down until after this coming weekend at the earliest...), and
[*]the SID/STAR cycles (from Terry Yingling's website. The PMDG site tends to lag behind Terry...)[/list]
You need to have both, for the same cycle, for the FMC to be "current" and correct... (then you can worry about programming the beast... :) )
EDIT: Does anyone have the PMDG AIRAC 0505? With navdata.at down, I can't download it directly (as I would normally do...) PM me if you have it (I have an FTP site where it can be uploaded...)
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Yes, i downloaded the two files.
Also on the FMC is says that I have the latest version (0505 ?) but when I try the SID it gives me that error. Try yourself Murray.
