Fsbuild-2 Flight Planner

First, I'm excited about this product and am trying to use it with the default Learjet 45 in fsx. I installed everything just fine with no problem and even made my own retrofit because I wanted more than the downloaded one. The source of my frustration is with trying to use the vnav on the fms. I set everything just fine although it seems like I am having to figure out how it works by trial and error as the documentation does not cover alot. Everytime I select vnav it sets my to zero and I can't figure out why. I have a few other things that are a mystery to figure out like:

1. In the documentation it says that the frequencies are shown in the apt section of the mcu - they aren't.

2. In the documentation it says that the approach types are in the approach section of the fms - they aren't.

I have no problems with the sids or stars as they are there. I feel as if I am possibly missing something. I have updated the navdata to the latest on the site.

Can someone help. Thank you advance.

1) The GNSXLS does not have VNAV speed cability. This is why there is no option in the FMS to set the speed.
VNAV is advisory only as is the case for the real GNS.

So when using the GNS, you want to use the .cfg seting VnavSetSpd=0 so that
it does not try to set the speed. In the first release this setting was =0 by default, but we changed it to =1 by
default when the SMITHS FMS gauge was added in ver 1.4.

This setting will prevent the gauge from trying to enter a VNAV speed, which it won't find for the GNS, and this
probably explains why the speed goes to 0 when in VNAV for you.

If you wish to have the speeds set in VNAV, then use the Smiths FMS gauge.

2) I think there a database issue at KLGB, because I tried it at other airports and the FReq is there. For example
try KLAX, and you will see the freq's there.
