Astro dave,we can do dual in FSX. But you need to have an IFR understanding first. There is a ground school part and then there is the art of flying an IFR approaches. You need the ground school part first. Those links that Mitch provided is that ground school. It does not teach you the procedure of "How to" but it does tell you the "What" component of it.http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/ils.htm You need to know what is an outer marker... what does "no PT" mean? You need to read and interpret the ILS approach plates. What is the difference between DA and MDA?You need to understand what is what...before the "How to" part.:)Manny

something else you might find useful - there are numerous short videos on YouTube, for e.g.:

I believe there is also a live flight school over at www.fs-mp.com.Thomas[a href=http://www.flyingscool.com] http://www.flyingscool.com/images/Signature.jpg [/a]I like using VC's :-)N15802 KASH '73 Piper Cherokee Challenger 180

Thanks all. I know there is a ton of info out there, but digesting it all is the hard part. That's why seeing it done in person would be the easiest thing for me. It's hard to take all this book info and associate it with a visual representation of what the author is trying to convey.________________________________________________________________________________________________Intel D975XBX2 'Bad Axe 2' | Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.20Ghz | 2 GB Super Talent DDR2 800 | Big Typhoon VX | eVGA 8800GTS @ 565/900 | Seagate 2x320GB SATA RAID-0 | OCZ GameXStream 700W | Creative X-Fi | Silverstone TJ-09BW | Matrox Triplehead Setup

There are a lot of great suggestions here, some of which I need to go follow up on myself.But my reason for posting is - I've been watching this thread for the last few days, and I can't imagine that what you want/need can't be done using FS-X's multiplayer mode, preferably with a rated real life/simulator pilot on the other side of the "cockpit".There's no magic involved in flying IFR, and if you truly want to do it "right" then you should digest some of the FAA/etc. links provided in previous posts. IFR flying is, up to a point, very procedural and only a lot of reading (and digesting that reading) will make you a capable IFR pilot in FS.Right after I got my instrument rating in, um, I think it was 2002, I came aross an excellent narrative book by an experienced pilot that I found to be fascinating reading. I wouldn't normally recommend it for a casual sim pilot, but it might be just the ticket for you:http://www.mypilotstore.com/MyPilotStore/sep/2206It is only a little bit outdated now, since WAAS GPS has come out since it was published, and it will get you quite a ways down the path of understanding the (again) procedure of flying IFR - and interestingly, most of the screen shots in the book were taken using a flight simulator (Elite)! Good luck in your quest; it's an admirable one, and I have to say that getting my real life ratings (private and instrument) have really made me appreciate just how DEEP FS (-9 or -X) is. The boys in Redmond have done a helluva job.Dave Blevins
