Hi,
(My comments are based on FGv098a, you're most probably running FGv099)
You sound like you're at the place I was a few months ago. I downloaded the
scenery for New Zealand and then had trouble finding the local airports. The
key is to know the Airport Identifier for your local airports. This is
available from your local AIP (Aeronautical Information Publications) site.
The FG airport list is sorted on Airport Identifier, if you don't know this
you're making it very hard for yourself.
If you're new to flying, visit
http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/
download all the various lessons and READ them!!!! I found them VERY
valuable.
If you're new to flying as I was, I suggest the following radio set up.
Chose a destination that has ILS.
Tune VOR1 to the destination "On-Field VOR" with the bearing set to the
target runways bearing with the standby tuned to the LLZ frequency.
Tune VOR2 to the LLZ frequency for the target runway. (radial is immaterial
for LLZ)
Tune ADF to the "Off-Field NDB Approach" frequency with the standby to the
"On-Field NDB" frequency.
Generalised flight plan.... head for the "Off-field NDB Approach" then when
VOR1 locks on solid change to NAV1 autopilot. Follow this in until VOR2
locks on solid then swap the VOR1 frequency to LLZ freq. Follow this in
until the VOR1 glideslope needle centres, then select the Autopilot
Glideslope control. apply about 2 notches of flaps, throttle back until the
autopilot can't keep the glideslope needle centred, then advance until the
glideslope just holds on centre. Fly on in until you see threshold, then
turn autopilot off and land. Repeat until you are happy with the landing.
I'm wearing my armour for all the flak I expect from experienced pilots for
this advice...<g>... it worked for me though and I went on to enjoy many
happy hours of flying around NZ.
Point 1...Find your local AIP site and download information for your
airfiields of interest.
Point 2... Download and READ... all the lessons from
http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/
Cheers

Subject: [Flightgear-users] How do i change countries
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 19:42:10 +0000
I'm a win user. How do I simply change countries when
flying? Specifically from US to UK? I can see no way of doing this.
Also, although I have downloaded and installed scenery for UK. But no
UK airport comes up in the airport list. How can I get this to happen.
Any assistance for this newbie appreciated!
