| 1323345 | 2013-01-18 22:37:00 | That was a lil' harsh don't you think? And sadly none of my friends have fsx, infact most of my friends don't have their own pc. I will look into getting FSX soon. Also purchasing a joystick a throttle. Can anyone recommend a good joystick and throttle (preferably 4 engine) that is sub $700? It might have been harsh but rules are rules. Anyway you can get some saitek throttle quadrants and use them for four engined aircraft. www.trademe.co.nz The throttle in the above link is what you could get. If you get two of them you will be able to set for four engined aircraft. |

| 1323346 | 2013-01-18 23:59:00 | I have a joyful joystick, I haven't used FSX in a while, I remember before I went to china for the first time I flew a 777-200ER (same plane Air NZ operates along that route) just to see what it would be like. Since it's long flight and I didn't know how to fast forward through long flights (I think the FFWD might have been a mod though) I left the plane on Auto Pilot overnight, unfortunately I woke up to a disaster. The plane had run out of fuel passing over Shenzhen, a few hundred KM north of Hong Kong, not sure what the directives for the auto pilot were since I downloaded the flight plan incl AP logs from a FSX site, but the plane had turned around to try land in HK. Not sure why I didn't make it but it must have crashed somewhere and that was that. Needless to say, thankfully the good chaps who run AirNZ know how to calculate their fuel!! |

| 1323349 | 2013-02-02 04:07:00 | You use Route Manager to route (flt. plan) your path to said Airport. Route MGR is under Autopilot menu. You can use Map under Equip menu to zero in on the airport and enable Fix to show you the fixes. Pick a fix in the path towards the rwy at the airport. In map you can get the freq's you need to dial in the ILS to hook up, use data for that.(in map). You then dial in the freqs to Nav1 radio with the radial. Then its just a matter of adjusting airspeed, alt. gear,speedbrakes,flaps and turning on the ILS mode, which is APP, right side of the control pannel on 777-whatever. If all is right you will line up(once approach is pressed) and automatically start decending and land on the dime. Takes alittle to see and get into the flow, but a must to master if you don't have a joystick. Good luck :) p.s. go with the flow, give it time and distance to setup, in Map the ILS lines will change color to lite blue when you are dialed in correctly and in range. Be at least 3000 ft. above current grd-levels at the beginning of the ILS triangle. And watch the instruments for horizontal and vertical alignment. |
