Tyler, Right me off list, and I can get you going. I have my settings saved and can send you those as well as a different file for FSX that does not drop you into the air when you hit fly now. First thing I would do with FSX is go through the settings and adjust the sound levels especially for the engine and environment. You will have problems hearing anything else over them. Second in the Sounds settings turn off the music. Everything else you can leave alone so just click Ok. At this point exit out of FSX, and I will give you more instructions when you are ready. Jordan

Hi, Since we're on the topic. Can someone who knows about Microsoft flight simulator please, please, please help me out here. I have FSX but have absolutely 0 idea how to even start using it.
