Hi All,
Recently been doing a lot of short haul flights, to get practice with
landings and general ifr flights. I'd like to start doing some long haul
flights with the 747 or 340, but rather than sit it my PC real-time for over
6/7 hours, like to let the sim take over for teh majority of the flight and
i complete the last 1 hour.
My questions are, when ever I speed up the sim during an IFR flight, I'm
unable to respond to atc commands quick enough and get cut off quite
quickly, is there a way round this?
Also, I've read about people switching to GPS during there flight, then
simply switching back to IFR when landing is approaching, I've never used
GPS, is it easy to get to grips with? How do I switch to GPS during a
flight?
TIA
Dan
