Flight Simulator X Gate Controls and Flying?

How do you get the ground service such as the cargo belt, luggage cart to start moving onto your plane? which planes work if you call the ground service?? And, how do create a free flight with the CO-captain telling you want to set the controsl too such as the heading and ALt etc.

flight simulator, as the name suggests, is a flight simulation program, no pun intended. it's not an airport / city simulation. you should look into Simcity for that.


so, you can increase the ';realism'; on the ground (Settings =%26gt; Customize button =%26gt; Traffic panel =%26gt; Airport vehicle density: put it to max) but even that won't put something there, that isn't. the program is about flying, not about (un-)loading planes.





as for ';help'; outside of missions; well, that's what the missions are for: teach you how to fly on your own, learn how to program a flight from one airport to an other aso. once you took all the ';missions'; or, let's call a cat a cat, lessons and have a serious look at the learning center which will introduce you to those ';annoying details'; of flying, like planing a flight %26amp; all you can control your flight yourself, without assistance.


alternatively, there are a few extra missions that can be downlaoded (e.g. from http://www.fs-freeware.net/modules.php?n鈥?/a> )





on a more metaphysical plane, keep in mind that flying an airliner nowadays isn't much different then driving a bus. the main difference being... speed and... altitude. you can reasonably bring a bus to stop by stomping on the break pedal. not quite so easy flying at 30'000 feet above the ground at 300 to 400 knots 8-X


but otherwise, make no mistake, flying back and forth between New York Laguardia and Reagan National Airport in DC three or four times a day is just as boring a routine as ridding a bus in downtown Manhattan :-/





if you want to feel the adventure of flying, take an Ultralight or at most a Piper and start from some small airfield (maybe with a grass strip instead of a concrete runaway?!?) and explore the countryside
