  1. Hello all

     

    I've recently upgraded to FSX, and in FS9 my flight planning was non existent.

     

    All I did was enter a start and end airport in FS9, and use the default ATC to guide me through a flight, culminating in an ILS approach into my airport.

     

    Now that I have FSX and am upgrading to more serious payware aircraft etc, I would like to learn more about more "serious" flight planning.

     

    I have purchased FSBuild, however the whole flight planning process just confuses me!

     

    All I want to do is choose a route, depart the airport via a SID, and do an ILS landing at the destination airport via a STAR.

     

    I am familiar with operating an FMC of a 737/757 from my FS9 days, and have a vague knowledge of the purpose of SIDS and STARS.

     

    If anyone can talk me through their flight planning "routine" or share tips/resources then I'd be very grateful.

     

    PS - I don't mind whether or not I use the ATC at this point in time.

     

    Regards

    Martin

  2. I tested the loading by installing another aircraft program which went through without a hitch.

     

    Thanks to all, I have now ordered another copy of FSX Gold as I now suspect the disk is defective. Trouble is, I always really look after my disks and haven't experienced it before.
