Haha, I was afraid of that!Basically, I just need to learn to fly these planes before anything else. Ill stretch the others over time! I presume google will be able to provide me with flight manuals? I had trouble with Wilco 737 (which I replaced with PMDG) and couldnt find a manual for it anwhere!

Hello, I have a few requests regarding planes and other things - Firstly, would anyone happen to know where to get detailed "operators instructions" for PMDG 737-8/900, Wilco 777 and "something" 757....who makes it completely escapes me, I am not at my own PC. Basically, I dont know how to fly these :SAlso, I have a query regarding airspeed - I was flying a 777 and in ascending about v/s 1800, the speed was dropping off at alarming rates, to the point I had to level off and try and build up speed, although I was still nearly 10 degrees relative. Even in level flight I was only achieving about 230 kias, which means that the King Air P90 I flew after was faster...How can the 777 be overspeed at 250 kias?Another query - what would people recommend for a pilot "career" in game. I am away of a few makers, whats the best?And finally, anyone got a detailed guide to ils landings? I seem to always mess them up!Thanks guys!

Hey, wher can i find the default traffic .bgl file? If i search for traffic or bgl i get tooooo many hits!

Hello, I installed Ultimate Traffic 2007 for FS9 which didnt work, so I uninstalled it again and now there is no traffic in my game. All the preferences are checked (traffic is on, 100% etc). Other than a full install (I dont want to have to install ALL my planes again!) Im not sure what could be causing it. I know the UT makes game reg changes, could that be it?Thanks, Ross.

Haha yes, I have the Wings of Power Bombers pack and thought I would give the B-29 a spin. Im from Glasgow so just selected there by default! You all successfully got to the route of the problem - In my haste to always starta a flight cold and dark, I of course didnt realise that the battery and avionics had to be on in order to talk - so it is sorted now! As soon as I saw the first guy say "try the avionics" I immediately looked around me to make sure no one saw my mistake :PIn any case, Cheers guys!

Hello, First, I am new here so, hello!I registered because I have this uber annoying problem in that I cannot use my ATC. I shall try to do my best to describe the problem - I can bring the window up, and I can see my options. For this senario, Ill be at Glasgow Airport. So I have 2 options: 1 - Tune Glasgow ATIS and 2 - Tune Glasgow ground. If I select 2 for taking off I then get the usual options: Request taxi and so on and so fourth. However, If I press a number on my keyboard for one of these options nothing happens. No requests are made, nothing moves - its like I havent pressed anything. Similarly, If I press 1 at the main menu to tune ATIS, nothing happens - no airport information. The curious thing is, that I cannot figure out what it could be that is causing it. Its a clean install - installed only a few weeks ago after my HDD bust. It was working fine - I was talking to Leuchars ATC in a handy B-29 with no bother, then I decided to start another flight and it hasnt worked since.I have searched everywhere on the web for an answer, but I cannot find anything. Short of reinstalling (which i dont wannt do cos I have a nice collection of 3rd party planes added on (thank you AVSIM library!!) I dont know what to do.So does anyone have any idea what it could be?Thanks guys!
