Is there anyway of having the compass on during free flight of flight simulator x?

Question

like they have in mission mode.

Answer 1

here are a few ways of easy navigating in FSX:

1. GPS- if you know how to use the flight planner (which is really simple), just tell it a departure and arrival route, then click on GPS direct, then click find route, the ok. when you start off there will be a simple pink highlighted line on the gps map, and will tell you where you are and how to get to your destination. Also, i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the articles on the ADF and NDBs. trust me, an nbd is very helpful and simple.

2. ADF/VOR: these are two radio navigation instruments that you will find very helpful if you ever get serious and realistic with flight simulator.

3.Visual Flight Path: this is the easiest, yet most unrealistic type of navigation in flight simulator. it is a series of imaginary gates in the sky that you fly through that will guide you there perfectly. to get it, tap ALT while in free flight, then options (or maybe another tab), then visual flight path

again, i highly recommend you read the NDB article in the learning center
