Hello there,
I am not a pilot nor a expert simmer, I am just a regular microsoft FS sim player, also very interested in ATP, especially flying jumbo jets like 737,777,747... I have played Flight simulator 98,2000,and 2002, and tried to read each one of their readme and help and tutorial, but for a novice like me the manual is never detailed enough, it doesn't explain HOW to LAND a 737,or 777 or 747!!!!!!! The lessons talk too much about Cessna and stuff and not hardly enough about the larger jets. Like for example, I know how to land a 747 when it is exactly aligned to the centerline of runway, thats pretty easy, but what if I plan a flight, say from San Francisco Intl airplort to Tokyo or something like that, in a B747-400, and I use GPS and instrument nav and get the route and info all inputted, when I takeoff I switch to GPS and use the Autopilot and NAV functions to fly to Japan, but PROBLEM IS: The AP takes me directly to the airport without lowering speed or altitude! I fly over it every time, so if AP can't help me land it how do I know WHEN to disengage the AP and take manual control to land the airplane? Thanks!
