I've had FSX for a while, but just got a new video card to replace one that was failing and tried out FSX again.
One of the issues I can't figure out is how to setup a flight plan from airport to airport where the destination ends in in the approach path for a runway as opposed to directly at the air port. How do I do this?
For FS98, I created a small dialog app that calculated the heading for a constant heading path between two points on the earth (a constant heading path is a spiral instead of a circle), and generated a table of headings to use between major airports that would put a plane into the approach path of the destination airport, and now I'm trying to figure out how to do the same in game with FSX.
The other issue is that I couldn't find ILS frequencies in FSX, although I did make a list of these from FS98. FSX also seems to have more trouble following the ILS (at least with the 747).
