No. He gave me the answer I was looking for which refers to FSX and that is ORBx which I now which to thank him for. Cheers man, looking at it now.

Guys? I wonder if you can help me. I have FSX 1.0 literally out of the box and I was wondering if I can upgrade textures which I assume that is what you are talking about? Can you give a new guy some advice? I am running at 1900 full HD on a 32" monitor and, well, I would love it to look better!!

Hey guys. Just flew in to JFK successfully which is cool as I am fairly new. However, the ground was so tedius! Halt, go, halt, go. However I am still having a LOT of fun. The throwback thing is we were on tour and I am sort of going through all what we did. Off to LA next. Thanks to all who have helped me so far, and the paint forum was excellant. Great to be part of all this ;-)

Will do Jaime! Cheers ;-)

Cheers Mike and Charile, I have just said a quick hello in the new members forum as I hate going to a forum and just jumping in yanno? I have a week off this week so I am already reading up and just basically having fun. I am actually just off to the paint forum now to have a go at a respray. Catch you all soon.

Hi all, I did already post a question which was answered, however, when I join forums I really feel the need to say hello and introduce myself to members and not just "JUMP IN". So my name is Chris Johnson, I have FSX and X-Plane 10 (which I think I will leave for a year or so!!!). I am new to "REAL" flight sims and I am just having a great time. I live in the UK quite close to the Birmingham area (DO NOT call me a brummie), my day job is a Critical Systems Administrator for a multi-national company and am 49.6 years old. I also play guitar and am in a recording band which is kinda cool. So, that's basically it! Glad to be part of the forum and looking forward to chatting with a few of you. Now I am off to the paint forum to try and figure this out. :lol:

"So if you are 14-15 miles out at 3000 feet and have intercepted the localizer, you should be well below the glideslope." It really was that silly!!!!!! That's great advice both of you. Thank you so much. ;-)

Hi all, firstly, yes I am 8 years behind you all and very sorry for a simple question from a new guy. I bought the game a week ago as I wanted just to try it out. I have been having a LOT of fun with this. I just have a tiny question about Free Flight in the CRJ700 if that is ok? I am trying to do an ILS landing (Aberdeen from Birmingham) and for the life of me I cannot get the ILS to enter a glide path. I am entering the code into the Radio Stack which is 109.9. I am turning on Nav one. I set a WP just in the North Sea heading directly into Aberdeen and I could swear I have everything right. I can hear what seems like Morse Code as I approach and I am trying to follow these steps. 1)Set flight plan into ILS "runway" 2)Fly using GPS mode. 3)Set coarse according to flight plan. 4)When runway is in sight, set ILS frequency. 5)When ILS signal is reached, switch GPS into NAV. 6)Switch off Altitude. 7)Switch on "APP" 8) When reaching outer/inner marker, switch off Auto throttle. 9)Moments before landing, disable auto pilot. (Never get there) As I said, my apologies for what must be me doing something really stupid but I have seen quite a few videos and read forums but I just cannot get the plane to enter a glide path, or maybe I am hitting APP too soon. If someone could spare 30 seconds to give me a pointer I would be greatful. Cheers. Chris

Ouch. Cheers mate. I can't even get a forum name right!! ;-)
