Hi Tony, Thank you for the humor. It comes at a good time.

You could rustle some papers if you like, or click a pen. I tend to cross my fingers at that point, although, I haven't flown for ages as Beta testing time of conflict is taking up all of my time right now.

My FSX Gold copy purchased last December somehow became corrupt and IYP would not recognize planes that were parked at selected runways and ready to fly. I purchased and installed another FSX Gold and am, once again, in the air. Now for my questions: Question 1. When we receive the command "Prepare the STAR data for blank blank blank blank.), what is the correct response? I have simply said, "affirmative). Question 2. When should we load the ILS approach information? Is it best to do so before or after executing the approach check list? Question 3. Is there a recommended flight level based on the choice of aircraft? I like flying the Boeing 737-800. When flying from Los Angeles to San Diego, for example, the default for FSX may set the cruising altitude to 6000. This is a roughly 90 mile flight. If 6000 is too low, how do you determine the appropriate altitude? Beginners like me simply trust FSX.
