Hey guys thanks for the kudos on my images, tis much appreciated.
As for ILS problems Camdog, yup, I had a problem with the ILS not being received or even appearing, even when I manually tuned the comms, I also had a problem with the lights not working.
The solution was very easy though, all you need to do is load up the default flight - (from memory its the Cessna at Seattle I think).
Once your sat at the end of the runway in the little Cessna, leave everything alone, don't turn off any switches or the engine off. Then go to choose aircraft in the drop down menu and load up the 757.
Once loaded, you will see a SET button in the panel selector (in the 2D cockpit), in here you can choose how the 757 will load up when you choose it, set this to cold and dark or ready to pushback.
You then simply goto airport from the dropdown menu and away you go.
It is a bit of a fuss, but this plane is great once your up and running. The SET button remembers you last choice, so now I simply load up the default flight and once sat in the cessna I load up the 757. It then automatically powers everything down and I am sat in a cold n dark cockpit, I then just ajust my fuel and weights and select airport and I am ready to go.
A little tip though, I turn off my traffic while I messing around and only put it to 100% once I am sat at the right airport, this save load times in a big way.
