I'm not new to Flightsim, I've used the "old" ones for 30+ years.  But I have to admit, with FS 2020 and 2024 the big irons are beyond my little brain.  All I want to do to start off is set a direct course and go, but when I try the display shows nothing for distance or destination.  I've even tried just to see what would happen and the planes take off on the runway heading and just keep going.  I fly the little guys tons, and the Longitude too (the only aircraft I have been able to figure out.)

 

Can someone tell me what I need to do?  Or point me to a location where I can learn?  I have tried YouTube tutorials, but none of them seem to cover setting a course.

My old account was became inaccessable so I had to create a whole 

But I have been using flightsim for a quarter of a century, despite the counter which says I'm a new user...

There are user guide pdfs for all the addons available on the flight simulator website 

a Google search will link you right to them.

Jonathan Beckett goes step by step through the vast majority of mid to high quality addons, including the Defaults, on his YouTube channel. 

you can follow along and fly with him, take your own notes from the vids, or he has his own downloadable guides for a few dollars each. 

He’s also taken the time to make separate videos that cover just the avionics and such. 

I also like PGatcomb, tho he’s a bit more about flying techniques than step by step procedures.
