Alright! I did it but the flight/game does not end. I flew from Regan to Dulles and to start i clicked on IFR under planner and then clicked GPS. On the gps i clicked proc then select approach. What i did from there i have no idea. I clicked gps option and i guess everything worked. Started the flight and contacted Regan. They gave me a runway which showed up in pink on the gps like you said Nav. Then after landing the option for taxi to parking came up. Asked if i wanted taxi mode or something like that i clicked yes and drove to that point and nothing happened. And whats up with the white dotted lines that show up on the gps?

hs, this isn't Halflife2 ;D

The flight ends when YOU end it-then and only then.  There is no "objective completed-on to next mission stuff" here.

I'm assuming the dotted lines you were talking about were the go-around path for the GPS approach you programmed-they would only be followed if you had gone around.

Thanks for the answer there beef. I thought i had to shut the engines off or something like that. Those dotted lines i guess are the run around path. I tried landing in a Airbus but no one would respond to my request for landing so i landed anyway. Getting the hang of it.

Holy crap hsthompson that is funny, "Alright! I did it but the flight/game does not end."

It is kind of like halo, when you kill all of the enemies you have to figure out where to go next. Oh man, i love this place!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Beefhole hit the mark about the white dotted lines by the way.

still laughing
