If you have some time to invest in learning this process, check out Charles Wood's navigation tutorial published specifically with Flight Simulator in mind. It includes detailed instructions, helpful hints, sample flights and chart excerpts to help you learn about dead reckoning, NDB, and VOR navigation as well as NDB, VOR, and ILS approaches.http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/Hope this helps,Kevin
