When I go to pull up the list of charts available for LAX, it gets cut off after the one for the Paradise Four arrival and displays a message at the bottom of the list that says "There are no charts available for (LAX)." Considering I filed the Sadde Six, and now I can't get the chart for it, it's time to do some fast scrounging in FSNav for the STAR. smile

Has anybody else seen this on the chart lists?

I always go to my plan B, myairplane.com and get the info from there when necessary.

You're right. I guess LAX has more charts than the logic can handle properly. I'll add it to my list of things to do.

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip on myairplane.com, Matt gave me that one last night via PM as well. Unfortunately my machine had been running FS and tons of other stuff for about 15 straight hours without rebooting at that point and had a bad case of the squirrelies--every time I tried to download a PDF file, IE6 hung. I ended up getting it off the KZLA website, they have JPEG versions of the plates that are very hard to read, but quick to download. FSNav also had the SADDE6 in its database with the proper crossing restrictions and everything.

I've given some thought to getting the Simplates product that's supposedly got every single approach plate, SID, and STAR in the US and thousands more worldwide, but really, 97% of what I need I can get from here, so why spend the money?

OK, I've fixed the problem. There was an error in the logic used to hide the "No Charts Found" message, and the site was displaying only a maximum of 50 charts per airport. I've bumped it up to 100.

Cheers!
