1. How do I keep from angering the ATC and other pilots when I'm flying out of/in to places, considering I'm using vanilla FSX:SE, with respect to IFR Flight Plans? (Sounds like "/a" is a solid go-to, and just plan through FSX?)
File only a flight plan you can fly. In other words, don't file fixes you don't have/can't find. And for God's sakes, please don't plan through FSX!!!!! It's rubbish! I think whoever developed that "functionality" couldn't even spell the word pilot, and certainly wasn't one....
Use charts (available free from the FAA and a bajillion other sources).
2. I like the idea of a higher-end pay-for plane, but I don't think I can justify that just yet, having just returned. Perhaps in a couple of months. That said, anything particular to look for?
Yeah, once you're ready, a lot of folks start out with the PMDG B737 NGX. The reality is a new dimension compared to default. I flew default for over 10 years. Now I won't go back (at least 98+% of the time....).
3. I tried installing the stuff from aero.sors.fr, and a couple of things happened. First, got some scenery errors. I worked through those, and loaded up at KMEM (I have a SID printed out for that, so I had a few intersections I could look for). I didn't find any of the intersections. Any way to tell if the install worked, and these simply weren't there, or they're there, but the install failed?
4. With that in mind--did I understand that response correctly? It effectively inserts the newer fixes, intersections, etc?
Never heard of that. And thousands of members have done it successfully. Can you elaborate on the errors? Remember that there are 2 updates -- one for NAVAIDs and one for Fixes.... Suggest doing both.
Thanks a ton. I don't want to wear-out my welcome with the newbie questions, but this feels sort of...well...basal for the whole system.
We were all newbs once, and all learned a ton along the way. Hopefully, we're not only all still learning every day, but trying to share/help folks every day too.
