I wasn’t asking you if you thought you were being rude, thanks.

Completely appreciate that and I’m well aware I’m stepping into a seasoned hobby - but the rudeness was just unnecessary to be honest.

Okay, no need to be so unpleasant.

Will give this one last bump...

Bump - think my post was quite a few pages down by the time it was approved, since I’m new here 😊

Hello! I'm very much new to simming so my questions may be absolutely absurd, and it's possible I've just not read enough into this particular topic. Apologies in advance if it's a bit cringe-worthy! So, I set a flight route - Glasgow to Donegal in my Cessna 152. Beautiful route, for what it's worth. I left some of the in-game navigational aids on, whilst also getting information from ATC about what heading to take: https://imgur.com/a/hvuyA2U As you can see, the marker is nothing like the heading i'm supposed tobe taking according to ATC. If that is the case, what exactly do these markers relate to if not my heading? If flying in real-life, I assume I would just be relying on headings. Would I be asking the ATC for these vectors, or would they be giving them to me? Secondly, at some point I presumably went outwith the bounds of the Scottish ATC centre. I expected I would be able to pick up my vectors when joining the local frequencies, but instead I was met with this: https://imgur.com/a/smJjScT What should I have done here? I had the option to radio the airport at Dongeal, but I had no option to request vectors anymore. I could have my flight "followed" by a closer airport, but still no vectors. I fully anticipate this is me being an word not allowed (and Indeed I likely don't full understand ATC and IFR), so any tips as to what I've done wrong would be great! Jack

Really appreciate people posting resources for newbies like me! I typically learn best when I have a bit of structure - is there any advice people could offer about how to approach learning for FS2020? I had it my head I would dedicate some time to reading/watching, and the rest of the time just having fun flying and practicing what I’ve been learning about. Is that reasonable? Jack

Hello from Glasgow, Scotland. Stumbled across this forum by accident. I’m a Flight Sim beginner like I’m sure a lot of new members are as of late, thanks to FS2020. Really excited to learn more about flying and flight simming in general. Plan on having some “study time” where I’ll do some watching/reading, and then also some flying time where I try to put what I’ve learned into practice and just get more experience flying. And having fun, first and foremost. “Squirrel” and his tutorial series has been incredibly useful so far, and the Aviator 90 series has also been recommended as a good place to start. Don’t really know if my study/flying approach is correct, but hopefully I can give myself a bit of structure and some goals to work towards 🙂 Anyway that’s probably too much for an intro - hopefully see some folk around on the forums!
