I'm still enjoying playing X Plane 11. I'm not particularly knowledgeable or good with plotting the perfect routes. I hit more than I miss but some routes I set up from Simbrief end up being very odd indeed!
One issue I seem to be getting at the minute is that my STAR isn't always lining me up correctly in that I seem o get put on a certain heading and it follows that ad infinitum, instead of making the final turning towards the runway heading. I'm a bit confused by that. I find myself having to make a manual turn to get on the runway heading for an ILS landing, which I don't understand.
Some routes are fine and line me up perfectly. I find I have more trouble in Europe with routings than I do in the States, not sure why that is.
Other difficulties I have are with the approach to Manchester from the south. It takes me up over the peak district, after which I should in theory make a simple left turn and head towards runway 23L/R. The odd thing is, when it gets to the turn point, instead of making an obvious left hand turn, it instead turns right and does a three quarter turn instead of a simple quarter turn. Its very strange and I'm pretty sure it isn't supposed to do that....???
In other news, I'm going to Deeside Flight Simulators tomorrow for an "airline experience" thing in a real 737-800 simulator. Looking forward to that!
