I bought the E sky computer simulator. The problem I am having is that once I take off with the plane I can't see the landing strip or have the ability to orientate myself thus allow me to land the plane without crashing. Is there an adjustment  in the software that I can make allowing me to go "big screen" or somethin so I can land?  Thanks

FMS is a very basic simulator. Other sims have a "keep ground in view" to help with your issue. You could try zooming out, "fixed camera" is a bit unrealistic as to how the human eye works but that might help keep the plane centered along with zooming out.

Solo-Pro, CB180D, 4G6, CX/Align500TT(fbl), 450 Pro, DX7i       Clearview sim.

Hey Jejuneus.

Welcome to the forum.

 :hi: :welcome: :hi: :welcome: :welcome: :hi:

It's always great to see some new members.

As for the FMS it is a really basic flight simulator. I used it for only a short time and then upgraded to the Clearview Sim which you would find is a lot better.

I know what you mean about the landing strip and I am unsure on as to fix that problem.

If you plan on staying in the hobby for any length of time I would be getting myself a decent Simulator and giving the FMS the boot... :128:

Happy Fly'n,

Scooby
