@Zuth

In terms of your ILS issue. You need to have the ILS tuned before you even start turning to line up with the runway. If you've got the autopilot in, depending on whether you're flying a Boeing or Airbus there will be a button you need to press, the APPR button. Also put in AP1 and AP2 once the approach button has been pressed. This will allow an autoland correctly. Once you've done that, if you fly the aircraft on a heading thats about 45 degrees off from being lined up with the runway the aircraft will automatically line its self up and start descending. Then when you're at about 200 feet you can disconnect the autopilot and land it

Google FSX ILS Tutorial - they are thousands!

Thanks guys, I will try once again

So I play FS004 a lot. With FSX I hear you can take passengers, request fuel etc.

I'm at Liverpool airport atm on free flight and I'm wondering how to request a taxi to a jetway to get passengers, when I press Request parking and fuel options... nothing is there. The only thing to request is to take off.

I've finally managed to do my first ever successful landing thanks to YouTube! Wooo - Sorry for 10 images, I just wanted to document my first ever landing

Nice!! Seems like a great landing ^.^

Thanks I was really pleased with it saying its my first, the only thing I dont like is it takes so long to set everything up, but the sound of reverse thrusters compensates for it

I have tried 4 times to fly Manchester - Belfast, but as soon as I get close to Belfast a fatal error occurs and my game closes.. It happens all the time
