hi
i have some questions about fsnav.
can i make a flight plan with fsnavigator and then flight it with the original gps? in other words can i see the route i have planned with fsnav in the gps?
How can i fly sids and stars without  using fsnavigator?
as you can see i am a new with fsnavigator can somebody explain me more options, or can somebody tell me a web which explains it?
thank you very much and excuse my english

Hello, Im new with FSNav myself (just bought it 2 days ago), but I think with FSNav, you have to export your flight plan into your flight simulator flight plan folder and then load it up in FS.  

With sids and stars, ive always flown them without fsnavigator.  Just print out (or put em on your kneeboard) the charts, and read the instructions pretty much.  If your finding a waypoint on the STAR or SID, just hit the direct key on your gps and enter the identifier on the GPS, and after each waypoint, enter another one.  If you have a flight management computer such as the one on the PMDG aircraft, then even better!  Just enter those waypoints onto your flight plan!
Cheers,
RB

i just did this yesterday... you can plot your flight plan in fsnavigator, then export it to the fs2004 flightplanner

just choose the plan->export option, then choose FS2004

then load the saved flightplan in the flightplanner and you will have it on your GPS, even the SIDS and STARS which fs doesn't really simulate, are there

fsnavigator rules 8) 8)

if you have the PMDG, you can aso export directly to it, and load speed and altitude constraints for each waipoint, then all you have to do is set the rest of the FMC and press TO/GS when on the runway... it will do the rest for you
