Hi,
I'm a long-time flight simmer but new to X-Plane (actually, I've owned previous versions of X-Plane but never flew them much...until now)
I've bought the 737-300 yesterday but, even though I have plenty of flight time in 737's, particularly PMDG and I Fly. I can't seem to get the FMC in this plane to accept my departure airport. All I get is a "Not in Database" message. This happens after aligning the IRS to the present position. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I'd like to try to texture this airplane in my VA's livery and, even though I have lots of experience texturing aircraft in FSX and P3D, I have absolutely no idea how to apply the texture I create after using the paintkit I downloaded from this site. Are there any tutorials around? Like maybe "X-Plane Texturing for Dummies"?
Thanks.....
