GPS - Global Positioning System. Its not what they use in Airliners, they only use it in light aircraft. The FMC is alot more versatile than the GPS Also, you can actually input a flight plan into the FMC. It will also bring you onto approach. I just don't know how.
Anyway, back on topic please.
FMC = Flight Management Computer.
Also, GPS doesn;t show you any errors :P

Liberation
03-09-2007, 03:59 PM
VPS? You mean GPS? FMC they use in the real world, so is more realistic. What i do, using the FMC, there is a T/D icon on the screen. When im near there, i put the alto in the autopilot panel down, and the plane auto-decends. You then fly the STAR etc, line up at around 10ish miles out, or more. Keep it at a good height (2 red, 2 white on PAPI), once at around 20 feet, i idle the engines, flare slightly, and hope to come down :]

Easyjet
03-09-2007, 04:07 PM
LOC is Localizer hold, i think it keeps you on the right glide slope, and the way Tucker said for visuals is pretty good, it leaves you at a nice height for landing
Liberation
03-09-2007, 04:08 PM
I use LOC to basically get the plane in line with the RWY. I do the height myself, but it helps keeping it inline :)

I need some tips on landing, I'm flying IFR and I get told directions to the approach by ATC. Once I am on the line I select my "nav" button once I have put the runway frequency in my nav1 radio and set it to active.
I then once on the line path for the runway set "APP" the approach hold switch but with some aircraft it really mucks up and goes over >> away from the line yet other aircraft like the 777 does this perfect and lands.
Can anyone give me some other tips on how to do good landings without having to use FMC and complicated writing lol.

Hi,
I just got fs2004 and was wondering if I could use the mouse to control the plane? I have the fsx demo and I was able to use the mouse for that but I can't seem to use it for fs2004. Do I HAVE to use a joystick to play fs2004? I'll be ordering a joystick soon but I just wanted to play it today.
Edit: I have just been on a few sites and it looks like I have to have a joystick :(.

I used to have FSX and I used the mouse, so I bought FS2004 after that and you definately need a joystick.
The keyboard sucks ):

Edit: Can't rep matt, sorry
I used to fly for BA Virtual. www.bavirtual.co.uk you don't need to be recommended sam, I just simply signed up and passed their exam. I won't fly for metroair as you have to fly dash 8 first.

You need a joystick.
I got it the other day and have tried to play it without a joystick. It is pretty impossible to fly correctly and not spin out when just using a keyboard.
When I get some money in on the 15th I'm gonna order one off Play.com for £12.99. Theres two on there:
