RobertVA Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 6. "RE: Mar. 7 Multiplayer KEDW - KSBP ..." 03-04-04, 05:25z  I have been leaving final approach fixes off the plans due to uncertainties about what wind direction will be generated by the flight room's automatic weather feature. Times I have heard the wind direction it often seems to favor landing on runway 29. I'm not even sure if the ATIS function is supposed to work in multiplayer, as I haven't heard it when tuning the COM radion to the appropriate frequency the last couple of weeks. I haven't been able to locate audio selector switches (or a fuel tank selector valve) on any of the P-38 panels either. I ussualy turn about 45 degrees off the plan's final leg a few dozen miles short of KSBP and watch the GPS for when it indicates KSBP is in the direction of the runway heading. You can also enter the route in the simulator's flight planner and use the mouse to drag the last line to the final approach fix for the runway you want to land at, assuming wind conditions don't make it nessesary to land in the opposite direction. The GPS units in FS 2004 have built in approach vectoring capabilities that can be selected in flight as dictated by developing weather conditions. I've played with them a bit, but haven't reach a point where I can be aviseing people about procedures to activate them. Robert Near KORF Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
