Q:

HOW CAN I GET BETTER VISUAL CUES FOR LANDING?

A:

I have been through the How To and FAQ's because I have had the same problem everyone else has regarding landing and the lack of visual clues. I have found that when you change view from forward to left or right or behind the zoom factor changes as well. This is noticeable when you are coming in to land and you are looking for the end of the runway and when to make your turn from base leg to final. Anyway, I think I may have a solution to this; it's not perfect but it seems to work.

In the views section of FS98 select new view and make it the left front; set the zoom option to .71. FS98 will call this view Cockpit 02. Ensure that the main view Cockpit 01 is set a zoom of 1.00. This will give you a small window which represents the view out of the front left window. If you are flying a right hand pattern you should put the second view to right front and place it on the right side of your screen.

You may need to move your second window around to get the scenery to line up a bit while you are on the ground. It's a bit of a bore but it's great when you are looking at the runway out of the front left window and it appears in the main window at the same size and in the right place.

Happy landings Bill S
