Thanks Kapitan. I hear ya about all the chatter from ATC. I do recall that. Did I see in the new 2020 that you can hand all that ATC replies etc. over to the "Co-Pilot. So, is the only way to handle the plan way points and vectoring to assigned runway ILS is by using the onboard pc board below the throttles. Seems I'd be busy plotting that all out. What do you do and is there instructions in the sim for it's use ? Also, are out the specs for each planes flap speeds, stall mins. etc. somewhere within the Sim screens ?

The visual realism of the new FS 2020 is awesome however so far I see little or nothing re: real airline liveries. As I recall from years past I was able to add numerous Liveries with flight schedules from a site PAI (?) . A fair amount of the realistic experience will be missing if when arriving at Heathrow or Toronto there were no British Airways or Air Canada etc..I did read some reference to Microsoft needing to have rights to the use of airline liveries. How was it that the PAI outfit was able to provide those in FSX ? I understand that private Airport or Airplane creators could and may provide liveries as part of a purchase. The large selection of PAI's were free as I recall. Been some time since I've used FSX so I've been out of the loop. Planning on jumping in with FS 2020 and purchasing a new desktop rig.

I was heavily into FSX years back and now plan to jump back in for 2020. I have been watching all the Youtube videos posted on Youtube regarding the use of FS 2020. My foggy memory of Instrument Flight plans submitted to ATC could be followed (?) in flight and ATC would 'vector' instructions in flight. I don't seem to see that in any of the Youtube vids re: plans nor ATC. Am I just missing something ? Most posters seem to be using the on board Flight computer which I never really mastered .
