New problem with FS9

Hi Wim. It is not that I need more spaces at Heathrow. There are plenty of
spaces there. But once I select the Go to airport from the menu, and choose
Heathrow, for example, I usually select a parking gate or a ramp parking
space to begin the flight. But the only option available on the drop down
menu is the Active Runway. I have read the help file in FSNav regarding the
Save to FS button but it is too brief to be of any value. I assume it
updates the FS fixes and waypoints so that they will now show up on the Map
view in FS9, such as the new Pechy and Dirty intersections that were
recently added to the Atlanta STAR for arrivals. I downloaded the airac
0608 again this morning and re-ran the database builder in FSNav but nothing
improved in FS9. If you are familiar with FSNav, and it seems you are, I
have no problem in selecting 'MOVE AIRCRAFT TO HERE' once airborne. Actually
from that Artic location, I just go to SLEW mode, press the Q key once to
begin a gentle assent, switch to FSNav and choose Move Aircraft to Here,
then press the A key to descent to the tarmac. So I can go to Heathrow that
way with no problem but it is just different.

Hi Danny, you can use "move aircaft to here"only during flying. Thats about
all I know. It should be something in your FS9 if you get no parking places
in the start menu.
I got the lot up to nr: 150

I'm not familiar with FSNav, but if you want new intersections for
KATL, I have posted FLCON and PECHY STAR's over at AVSIM in .bgl
format. I'm planning on posting the rest of them w/in the next week or
so.

You do not necessarily have to be 'flying', but you do have to be off the
ground to use the FSNav menu option "move airplane to here". That is why I
sometimes use the slew mode to get my wheels off the ground, especially if I
want to move from one Parked location to a second Parked location.
Yes, there are plenty of parking spaces, they just don't show up. Not sure
what is going on with FS9.
Anyone else what to take a stab at solving my problem.

I don't see how you can fly without FSNav. Number 1 add-on in my opinion.
But, I have already downloaded a new afcad file for KATL with the new runway
and new intersections. They show up fine and ATC will direct me to 10/28
occasionally.

To answer your initial question about the NavData. There was a bug in the
first release of 0608 and a new version is now available. Try it and see if
this corrects your problem.
