What do I need to start playing? Original Falcon 4.0 which is many years old (can I buy it somhere?) and then install some addon? (is it free?)

@RapaFan You can download it online if you search around - the game has been out of production for years and the companies which published it are defunct.

Great video! But sadly i still couldn't do it! I input the ils frequency and course, switched to ILS/NAV mode, and got in range. However i'd end up trying to chase down the Command Steering Cue, by then i might already be over the runway. On some occasions, the Command Steering Cue circle symbol actually has something sticking out of it, what does that mean? So what exactly am i doing wrong? am i too high or too low? or is it another problem entirely??

Thanks for reading!

@luigix I would recommend just following the pre-planned patterns I go off of in the first part of the video, if you follow it you don't have to guess where the ILS starts, it corresponds to the beacons. You could very well be too high, as I showed in the video the ILS starts at about 5000 feet and goes down to 2000 feet for terminal guidance. Just look at the navigation chart and follow it or or at least use it for clues.

@tanit thanks for the quick reply! but i actually tried it with other airbases, not the same one in ur video. Given that i don't have an example to follow, do i have to guess where to go then? can't be right?

Thanks again :)

[tanit]

@luigix Yeah except there's charts for every airbase in south korea and most in north korea. Go check your BMS folder.
