March 26, 200917 yr Last night I installed the RC4 Software Package and this evening I took my first flight. I used the KDSM - KORD tutorial using the default 737. I made my fair share of errors both with RC4 and the FS9 737 (after using the PMDG/LEVEL-D aircraft its a bit of a step backward). Two quick questions:- In flight, am I told when to turn or am I suppose to watch the menu screen? I may have missed a couple of verbal messages, but I am not certain if I did miss the message. I.E. when I approached either DBQ or BRIBE should I have received a verbal message to turn or should have I been watching the menu?- Some where on my approach onto 32R I must have missed verbally or I selected the wrong approach key. My appraoch took me just northeast of KORD. At some point I should have been turn towards the approach for 32R, I believe that I either missed the verbal direction or I selected the visual approach key.Anyway - nice program, after a few more flights I should become a much better in the use of the software.JD - Thanks for your help with my download email issue. It is nice to receive help as quick as you provided it me.Tom
