Hi all, Laid low with the flu for a few days but spent my horizontal time watching youtube tutorials... So today I planned out and flew from Belfast City to Dyce (Aberdeen) using VOR beacons. Pretty cool....now I need to learn all about this ILS malarky... What an amazing site Skyvector is....

Thanks for this help guys - I've been checking out some of the things you've suggested and they look good. I imagine that this is like other sims..the more you put in the more you get out. (My background as a gamer is very much racing sims as well that are as equally 'anal' ) So....I can and will learn all the 'individual' parts like GPS etc... One more question though if you can indulge me - do you have an 'order' that you do things in? What I mean is - when you put the PC on and start FSX it would be possible to do a quick flight and look visually for a airport to fly to and do that. However, I'd imagine to really get a lot out of it you would - choose a start and destination, work out a route, program it in, taxi out etc etc So what would be a good 'order' to start with - this would give me an overall structure then I can fit the various bits around it. Many thanks again Dave

Thanks for the advice gents - I'd largely ignored the learning centre as I was thinking it's going to be aimed at things like the interface, graphics etc etc. As far as my aspirations at the moment I'd really like to be able to pick my local airport (George Best City Airport) and complete a planned flight to say Aberdeen in really bad weather / darkness using IFR only. Are there any third party programs that you'd recommend at the moment for flight planning etc? Thanks LOL :lol:

Hi simmers, I just took the plunge into the sim world - got myself a cheap copy of FSX and a joystick and I've a 'fairly decent' PC and here's my question - Do any of you know of some good tutorials that take you from switch on, until landing? That show the whole sequence of events e.g. deciding destination, picking a route, programming it in, setting radios, taxi, take off, how to navigate and land? I've followed some of the lessons in FSX and taking off, landing etc is fine but I'm lost when I have to start thinking about IFR flight etc. Thanks very much in advance, Ezuna
