Trying to fly to VHHX today. Using PMDG T7. FMC tells me that airport not in the database. How do I update the FMC with airports?
I have the most recent AIRAC

Here you go. I've used this for the PMDG 737, 747 and MD-11. I haven't tried the T7 yet but the latest installer supposedly addresses it. These guys have been recommended on the PMDG forums so should know what they're doing. If you update your AIRAC you'll have to run this utility again though because VHHX won't be in the updated AIRAC.

Is there a way to add way points to the PMDG 777? I am trying to fly this: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE236/history/20120209/2100Z/KBFI/KBFI

If that is the NAT most likely they have changed since then and will not show up in the database. You can use a flight planner to get the points and then import them in the T7. I will try and do this on PFPX to see what I can come up with

Got to looking at this from the net and from all the info I have read VHHX was closed back in 98 so some of the scenery is missing from FSX and well PMDG products as well.

Do a search in Google for FMC VHHX PMDG 777
Go to the first avsim forum post and in there is links to flytampa which has an updated afcad file for the airport but also you will find the patch for ARAIC 1311 and above that has the updates for pmdg, ifly and leveld aircraft FMC's

Hope this information helps

Cheers. smile
