oo whre to get the plugin u mention?
I've tried the basic mission untill 11 but stuck at soaring and helicopter, maybe because I'm using mouse to play.
during the free flight, i set my flight plan from KLIA to Changi but there isnt a indcator or compas like the 1 in mission showing my direction?? So i open the GPS n look at the map since i know where changi located. Is this the way u guys play free flight?
My friend, it's sad you're using a mouse to handle all this. Go get urself a joystick. A simple joystick will do the job for a beginner eg Logitech Attack 3. I started off with that one. About the addons for FS,there are numerous sites one of which is
avsim.comavsim.com. But you know before you hit those sites and confuse yourself more with those crazy addons, i humbly ask you to take the flying lessons in FS, starting off with a Cessna-172 single prop in which you'll learn the basic maneuvers guided by an instructor voice.
About your flight from KLIA to Changi, what indicator are you looking for exactly ? if you've created a flight plan properly then the GPS will show you the direct route from one airport to another (purple-pink line) but if you're gonna follow that straight ahead then u might end up seeing the approaching runway parallel to your aircraft. That's where things like ILS (instrument landing system) comes in place. It also matters if your flight plans are VFR (visual flight rating) or IFR ( instrument flight rating). VFR is when you fly the aircraft based on your own judgment (low level flying). but IFR is when you are given commands by the ATC about when to turn and how high/low to fly.
so you see, there's a heap load to it. I was just as excited when i started playing but soon i knew i had to go thru the lessons and now frankly, it's all worth it !
