...A good reason to upgrade to version 9 is that you can add SID, STAR and TRANS to the flight plan. I rarely save the plan with those, but I use it to give me a beter idea of what SID, STAR and TRANS to use in the FMC of my modern airliners. I find that it is also easier than reviewing the flight plan on the HSI. Mark

Yes, agreed, Mark. That would be preferable. Stepping through the Flightplan on the HSI to correct/re-select the SID/STAR for a given runway is more cumbersome....

I will go to FSC9 one of these days...thanks for the suggestion.
