Is there a manual for the FMC in the iFly 747-400. I am getting a lot of NOT IN DATABASE - INVALID ENTRY, when trying to enter airport IDS. Help if you can please, Happy Flying!

You need to update your AIRAC cycle, but don't ask me how as I don't know.

There should be a manual for the iFLY panel as part of the installer.
Cheers!

What I'm having trouble with is updating the database, when you enter the identifier for an airport, is says NOT IN DATABASE, I know how to use an FMC, but this one is a pain!

I have no experience with the Ifly panel although I do have it downloaded. The work that Delta VA has put into it is fantastic as a resource to follow has been developed. The manual is great but is a massive resource.
This being said I read a review on AVSIM yesterday which said it was a fantastic freeware panel. Although the database was not easy to work with. I am sure that in time we will all get things figured out and will spend time with the project when I get some more free time. Here is the link to follow.

I am having the same problem guys. I can post a screen shot if need be. My FMC displays NO AIRAC info. That area is completely blank. I have reinstalled the 747 fleet file. I've also even updated the iFly AIRAC to 0903 from their website. Any help is appreciated on why the FMC in the game isn't seeing the AIRAC info. I'm running FSX by the way. I have it installed to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly (which is where the installer put it)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly\747-400
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly\747-400\navdata
