Visual Flight Path

Postby verbal » Mon Dec 12, 2005 10:30 pm

I'm relatively new to flight sims and (of course) very new to these forums. I'm hoping someone here can help me with the Visual Flight Path (I really need it to help me with landing), as I cannot get it to work at all.  ???

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as there is obviously something I'm not doing correctly.  ::)

Thank you.  8)

Have you taken the flying lessons in the sim? I couldn't land at all until I took the 'introductory flight'. It is surprisingly helpful.
edit: typo. theres no such thing as a flught

Yes I have taken the lessons, and that was the only time I've seen the flight path.

I am landing fairly well without the flight path, but would like to use it so I can practice much better before I start flying under all kinds of weather/circumstances (crosswinds etc.)
