Apologies if these 2 questions have been asked before. I searched the FSX
help and didn't find any answers.
1) Why is it that in the 747, when attempting to land with low fuel weight
and full flaps, the view (2-D cockpit mode) is such that I cannot see the

With XP I had no trouble opening and editing my FS9.cfg file.  I am now
running FS9 with Vista Home premium.  I have accessed FS9.cfg but get a
message that it can't be opened and I need to find the appropriate program.
I am rather overwhelmed by what confronts me when I choose ...

In the FSX Learjet extending the spoilers does the unexpected:
When the spoilers are extended the angle of attack increases on the
Learjet.

I think this (the F is part of a wider problem - my PMDG 737s now bend
away from waypoints and the localizer too when I am landing, slowly
turning back on course thereafter. But never, in the case of the
localizer, in time to land properly.

My FS9/2004 runs beautifully. The problem I have is when I start the
program it automatically goes to a default flight without ever opening

Some of you may remember about a year ago when I started fs-fbo.  It
never really got off the ground for various reasons, and has lain
pretty-much dormant for more than a year.
Well, I've dusted her off with a new script and thought we might try

Is there a game or sim programmer out there that can complete the job?
There will have to be a day when one comes along, but it is not here yet.
Why can't you land a plane in fs?
Unfortunately, it is no surprise to find that when you try to land an

Jeff Van West in hopes that it will provide needed answers.
