Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

Hi ,

I am currently trying to add the sids and stars for VHHX into my ISG smiths FMC but just seem to be getting nowhere,

I have a text file with all the wpts,data and co-ords that i used to add them into the PMDG FMC ages ago,
I have tried to copy the same format as is in the txt files already but keep getting not in database and also no sids or stars show up in the FMC at all...

One other thing that is puzzling me is i have files called sids.txt,stars.txt and also isg_sids.txt,isg_stars.txt
Do i need to enter the data into both of these files for it to work or just one of them??

Also if i import a route with VHHX in it from vroute as a .pln file the FMC seems to recognise VHHX but shows no sids or stars,but if i try manually entering VHHX in the route page i always get not in database?? seems strange

Any help much obliged

Ok guys after a few hours plugging away at it ,i worked out that when i updated my airac i now seem to 2 txt files for each section,
ie for the stars i have a file called isg_stars.txt and also one called stars.txt..



I then also noticed that my file isg_apts had VHHX listed but the file apts.txt did not and after adding it the FMC seems to accept VHHX and also the different stars i have entered,so thats fine i have worked out how to do that.

Still got a couple of questions
1 Am i able to input altitude restrictions using the star txt file or not ?? (as i notice in the isg settings pdf it says there not used in this release 1.8 i think i have)

2 i am trying to enter the stars for VHHX but am a bit stuck on how to enter the waypoints for rwy 3, heres the chart



the waypoints i dont know how to enter in the txt file are the ones for rwy31 at CH 50dme where all the stars turn for WHISKEY
for example on the NOMAN arrival you pass NOMAN and head for CH until your 50dme from CH then you turn onto a heading 337 to IAF WHISKEY

on the chart that point is called CH133/D50 but there is no lat/lon co-ordinates for it ,so how would i enter this into the txt file?? is it even possible,i know it could be flown easy enough with this waypoint,but just wondered if i am missing something or not,i know it can be entered manually into the FMC as CH133/50

Again any help much appreciated
