FLIGHT SIMULATOR X COLD AND DARK PLUS

In the lower left part we can see three situations (from the right): the aircraft is to the left from the radial 210, it's on the radial 210 and it's to the right from the radial 210.

FLIGHT SIMULATOR X COLD AND DARK PLUS

On the picture above, our course is set to 30, so we'll fly along the radial 210, because the 'ray' comes off the VOR in 210 degrees (course 30 plus 180 degrees is 210 degrees, as the radial leaves the VOR station). NAV gauge indication - aircraft location in relation to the VOR station.

fly along the given radial or fly towards the VOR from a given side. VOR stations are more precise navaid than the NDBs, because their signal is enhanced with magnetic north orientation which makes it possible to fly along radials, 'rays' going out of the station in all directions. VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) navigation ADF gauge indication - aircraft location in relation to the NDB.ДЄs we can see, the ADF shows only the direction to the tuned NDB station. Navigation is based on flying from one NDB station to another and the information abort reaching the NDB is acquired by change in the ADF (Advanced Direction Finder) gauge indication - the arrow flips downwards. NDB stations are the simplest navaids, which inform us only about the aircraft location in relation to the NDB without any information about distance. Flying with F/D help means the lines form a cross

bad or no visibility.ДЄTIS - (Automatic Terminal Information Service) ATIS system provides aircraft crews with most up-to-date information on the airport organizational issues and weather conditions (wind, precipitation, pressure, etc.)ДЇlight Director - the system shown on display or analogue gauge, which indicated the optimal flight path (vertical and horizontal). IFR - (Instrument Flight Rules) The pilot flies the aircraft in conformity with instrument rules, ex. Continuous aircraft data analysis provides calculations for take-off and landing speeds, estimated time of arrival, the amount fuel after landing, etc. Planned route is stored in its memory and then followed. The computer that provides automatic flight guidance. Transponder squawk - 4-digit number set by the crew and emitted by the transponder, which lets the ATC do identify and track the aircraft over the airspace.ДЇMC - (Flight Management Computer). Transponder - the onboard device that sends the 'squawk' used to identify planes in the airspace by the ATC. Intersection - fixed points in the airspace, usually intersections of airways or other specific points, like the point where an airway changes direction. The aircraft are equipped with proper receivers being able to read the ILS system signals. It consists of the horizontal beam (localizer), the vertical beam (glideslope) and markers (distance measuring beacons). ILS - (Instrument Landing System) The system is responsible for guiding the aircraft along the optimal landing path. In this case the onboard VOR receiver can also read the distance from/to the VOR station. The VOR stations may be equipped with DME (Distance Measuring Equipment), creating VOR/DME system. When navigating with VORs, we can fly towards or from a specific station and intercept one of its 360 radials. Consists of the ground VOR station and the VOR receiver aboard the plane. VOR - VOR system (VHF Omnidirectional Range). Please remember that some ATC instructions will vary during the flight and the ATC instructions, NOT tutorial instructions should be followed. They were strongly simplified, some activities and procedures have been purposely omitted. The game puts a lot of effort into providing as much realism as possible and it's also a very big product, because it offers a chance to explore the entire globe and to take control over lots of different planes.Д«artek 'konraf' Rutkowski, Krzysztof 'RzEmYk' Rzeminski & Adrian 'Red Scorpion' Napieralski ( )Д«oth tutorial flights were described with rookie pilots in mind. Hopefully this will allow the players to become experienced enough to try completing more challenging flights.ДЇlight Simulator X is one of the most complex simulators available on the market and it was published by Microsoft. The remaining chapters of this strategy guide contain examples of two flights and they describe all the procedures and other things a pilot must do to complete these missions (pre-flight checks, starting the plane, flying towards destination, landing and parking the plane).

They also describe the most important things about navigating the plane, including descriptions of the most important devices and indicators in the plane's cockpit. The first pages of the guide contain a list of the popular terminology used by the pilots themselves and by the ATC crew. This unofficial strategy guide to Flight Simulator X video game will help in learning all the basic elements of this very complex and challenging simulator.
