Sorry, sorry, my mistake they are in /737ng/navdata as you so correctly said. My mistake I have edited my post. I hope my misinformation hasn't 'thrown' you

I have in fact corrected a few shortcomings in the SID and STAR data access, so that the current software (next beta) will now check for every combination of folder structure involing Navdata, Proc, SIDS, STARS, and SIDSTARS folders, and every combination of .txt, .sid, and .star file extensions. I have a few more things to add and check to other parts of the interface before posting the next beta, which will include the much anticipated client side LWE control. So no real worries or problems.

The NAVDATA is the correct folder but download and install the latest 3.12.0 beta which has the corrected search algorithm. It should find your <FSX>\PMDG\SIDSTARS folder correctly and decode the relevant ICAO.txt files in the PMDG format. Any problems then get back to me and I will have a look.

Great job on the iFly Stephen, works 100 percent, still one more challenge to go, a big one I think, Feelthere Wilco!! They have a folder called "nd" and in that folder a gigantic exel file with all the navigational data going from navaids and stuff up to RWY lengths and surfaces and all kinds of freqeuncies, I allready zipped it up and will send it ASAP. this folder is in c:\FSX\Feelthere\nd so not in an airplane version folder, that are all separate folders.

It's to big to send anyway,tried everything but it would take hours to upload. it's only a pitty for those that only have Feelthere products. Herman

Will install the new BETA and report back either way. It's late and I haven't slept yet. Thanks Stephen and Cheryl.

I have installed the latest BETA 3.12.0 and have entered in my flight plan and processed it and tried a weather update with my navdata directory set to C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\NAVDATA and the SID/STAR report still shows no data.

I repeated the same steps with the directory set to C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\PMDG\SIDSTARS and the report still showed no data.

Hi Russian, I had a similar problem yesterday with a route foe EDDK to KSDF. I got the route from RW flight plans (free Internet) when Opus wouldn't decode it I checked the text string and it had flight level info in it. I eventually got a route from route finder Opus decoded this one without problem. Because of the amount of waypoints it did take longer then normal I ended up opening the spy window to check what was happening. When the wheels stopped churning I had a mass of available information at my fingertips, this was the first time I had actually tried the new addition, due to being away all weekend fishing at Ancaster. I thought it was absolutely brilliant. A major step forward.

That's an easy one. You must set the sharing, sharing permissions, and security permissions on your server for the OpusFSX installation drive and folder. That way the client will be able to access the files in your OpusFSX\Themes folder on your server. See the Getting Started Guide for Networked PCs for details. Note you will need to make sure you have the Everyone user group set to Full Control in both sets of permissions. The guide gives details of how to do this.

See also the LWE Client Control topic below this one.

My navdata directories all coincide with what you have listed Stephen. I made sure to reprocess and to force a weather update after I had changed the navdata directory and each time it told me I had no sid and stars located for the sid star report. Will keep trying different techniques.

Sent a file.

On my next flight I will check and see if I get any SID/STAR reports.

EDIT:I got a departure SID report. Not sure about arrival. I was over 500 nm away when I checked it. Seems to have been fixed now. Thanks Stephen and Cheryl.

You could see if there’s one in our default NavData.

Check your OpusFSI folder there should be a sub folder there.
