I will have to write that formula down! Thanks Im suprised FMC's don't work that stuff out but ohwell

EZDok does seem pretty overpriced, I want it only for the head movement but not bothered about camera angles.

/Facepalm I haven't even bothered following my flightplan I was just following the headings ATC were giving me haha. Ill do an IFR flight tomorrow actually following my waypoints! Thanks for that What i mean is, it seems like theres a single ATC controller at each airport and you have to queue up to reply to him. Say he says 'cleared for landing' then some other guy butts in and says 'BollocksAir 2662 request to land' then you have to wait till they finish their conversation until you can respond. Surely it's not like that in real life

Ive been playing FSX for about a month now and I am in love with it! Im starting to understand all the different systems VFR,IFR,ILS,DME,ADF etc. First payware i got was the Carenado Cessna C208B and the cargomaster expansion and fly it loads!, I bought the QualityWings BAE/Avro 146/RJ for Christmas and its an amazing plane but as it has an FMC and is a bit more advanced i thought id better understand a few more things first. Long flights or flights that start off clear weather and VFR and end up at night or bad weather IFR, how exactly do they work? Do you change to IFR when the weather gets bad? Im a bit confused by that. What's the point of a flightplan in IFR when the ATC gives you a load of headings and guides you everywhere? :S Why is GPS considered VFR when it's instrument-based? What are SIDS and STARS and all those weird FMCy stuff? When flying VFR how do you know when you should start descending for your landing? Why does the FSX ATC only handle one person at a time? Are there any ATC addons that add regional and country specific accents? When should you turn the seatbelt sign on? The AvroRJ manual says the V(fto) speed is the speed at which you should put your flaps up, however this is normally pretty fast (170kts) is that normal? Are there any speed restrictions, and are they altitude dependent or airspace restricted? How do you know when to do a crosswind landing? What are the procedures for a go-around or aborted landing? Full throttle and fly off? If anyone can answer these, or some of them I would really appreciate it
