Alph Sim B-24 Questions

Hello all

I am new to this forum and hope you indulge me with these questions.

I found out that Alpha Sim has a add on to FS2004 with 5 B-24 Liberators to fly.  

One of the planes is my father's "The Stork".  Dad is still alive and I purchased FS2004 and the Alpha Sim program to learn to fly and surprise him next month with the simulator.  

I am very new to FS games and would like to know if anyone has any tips for flying the B-24.  

I can take off and fly OK landing is a challenge.  I do everything visual and fly in areas I know.

I would like to get my dad to try to fly and need to more know "tricks" or tips to the controls.

Also, his missions started in Castelluccio, Italy.  Is there any chance of finding a version of that airport?

If you can help, please respond with tips or web sites that may help.

What many of us consider the best source of scenery (airport enhancements) is the link below:

If it has been released, it will be indexed here with a link to the site where it can be downloaded.

Thank you Milton

I can land the craft, my problem is lining it up with the runway.
