Bob,
I'm glad I caught this thread... Thank you very much for the "extra needed"
information about the FS2002 Flight Planner... Now I can sort of add the
SID and STAR using your method... ;)) So what's adding a few extra steps,
programming an FMC takes longer.
Thanks again Bob your info is spot on.
