Break axis
I only use a normal joystick with FSX and I was wondering if there is anyway to get an axis to contort the breaks? I've managed to get it controlling one side with differential breaks so is there anyway to get both side breaking on one axis? Thanks

Procedure for a Go-Around from a visual approach
Yes ofc it's easily hand flown but I like to get the autopilot back on personally and start getting through my check lists. My personal way of flying an approach depends on different things. First if I know the weather is bad ill start looking at a CAT 3. Second if its busy traffic wise ill also fly it CAT 3 so that if a go around is needed I simply press the TOGA button and the autopilot stays on the whole time. Very good for high work load situations. Even thought I am performing a CAT3 approach I still have full intention of disengaging the autopilot and throttle at about 100 above DA and fly it in manually. I never actually fly the CAT3 to the deck in good weather as from what I understand it can't be dove in real life as planes on the ground will be using the wrong holding points.

Procedure for a Go-Around from a visual approach
You normally get out back to the que but its a little different on FSX depending on what atc your using. On the ground when you push TOGA it will command take off thrust that you have set on the FMC. Depending in your throttle settings in the FMC options you might have to advance the throttles or it'll presume your are aborting the take off you can turn it off so it ignores your throttle position. For Go around it ignores your throttles when on auto throttle.

Procedure for a Go-Around from a visual approach
Remember the plane is already flying so you dont need large amounts of power for a go around as Spin737 says And also as soon as your press the TOGA button and the flaps and gear come up you will be climbing away pretty well. If the go around altitude is say 3000feet it wont take long to level out at 3000 and you want the autopilot back on and in control as soon as possible

Procedure for a Go-Around from a visual approach
Control your speed with your pitch as you climb out of the Go around but remember generally your plane will be light on fuel compared to a take off so it's going to climb like mad. When I'm doing a manual go around I disconnect the auto throttle and use it manually so that I can slow my climb and keep it under control until I have the auto pilot on and the plane is getting cleaned up to 0 flaps and gear up. Also if you know you will be performing a visual approach just stick to a cat1/2 ILS to save you some work
- VOR on EFIS - do you need to set this for NAV 1 approach frequency to work correctly?

Saving NGX
How does saving with the NGX go when you reload it? Does it reload in the exact panel state after the 20s of hand flying I guess?<br /><br />An I right that there is a programme that can save at different time intervals? To save me some annoyance when my machine throws a wobbly?<br /><br />Thanks

FMC
I feel pretty at home around the FMC now but one think I want to be able to do if it is possible is to make a waypoint a certain distance and direction from the last is this possible?<br />Thanks

Flight planning
Ok so when I plan a flight currently I use FSX flight planned make a vfr flight plan and use high airways. Is there a better programme for this maybe where I can incorporate STARs and SIDs? And also how about weather is there a better way of using real world weather then just letting FSX download it? And how can I plan what sort of head winds or tail winds ill be getting at cruise?<br /><br />Thanks

Cost Index
It changes how fast the plane will complete the trip but also how much fuel will be used so I presume airlines are using lower and lower index ratings to save money in fuel. If a plane is running late it can increase the index rating to arrive more on time. (With the side effect of using more fuel)
