mach2.25steve asked:


What did pilots carry in Vietnam? What do pilots carry now?
I would think they would have a GPS device on them and a satelite phone. Do they have anything like that? Or is it just not that simple because of being detected by the enemy?

Jeremy J. asked:


Hello,
I got FSX for PC, and instead of using ILS approach, I use GPS Approach, and when i’m about to land, the plane turns completely away from the runway, and trys to approach it again, but stalls out (I have it on autopilot to land). Im pretty sure the glideslope indicator is working good, but i kept trying to land with different runways after this happened, and it did the same thing. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Or maybe someone can teach me ILS?

Please help

Jan asked:


Ive bin playing Flight simulator X for a while now but there is one thing that i realy dont understand. If for example, i fly from Amsterdam to London i see a purple line on the radar. This line goes from Amsterdam all the way to London. However, if, for any reason, i loose track i cant find the line back. So, if i loose the purple line out of my radar screen how do i get back on track?

Techwingless. Have you heard of a Zoombak.
