November 29, 20205 yr I am confused about how the 'tours' work. I have been trying to use the new USA tour and it doesn't seem I have proper control of the aircraft. Is the tour supposed to run itself or should I have complete control of the plane? My second question is a stupid newbie question. I have absolutely no experience with flight simulators or flying at all. It seems the only way I can see anything outside is to use the outside view. When I am in cockpit view I can't get any view out the front window to see anything. Am I doing something wrong or is that just the way flying actually is? I feel like I need to be sitting up higher in the aircraft which it doesn't seem I can do with the sim. I sincerely appreciate any help, advice, guidance.

Rob I don't know about the tours, but like Glenn said - use the arrows to move around the cockpit. Click scroll wheel on mouse for looking around. If you get more comfortable and want to invest in the simulator as a hobby, I would highly recommend TrackIR or similar system for looking around. You'll be able to move around the cockpit and look anywhere just by moving your head. It works great and it's not that expensive either.
