Failed Flight

Tonight I attempted a flight from KLAX to KSFO. It was an utter disaster.

 

I flew the same route in the FSX default CRJ700 this morning and all went very smoothly. Where I made my mistake was attempting it in my new Wilco CRJ add-on aircraft on the first time using FSINN instead of SB. Despite reading the manual for the RJ FMS and systems thoroughly, I still got my butt kicked trying to keep up. Add some auto pilot glitches (have to reset to change altitude??) and i ultimately disconnected the flight after blowing my approach.

 

Long story short, lesson learned:

DONT play with new add ons while online...

 

Also a very real thanks to the patient controllers tonight. Im sorry my learning experience resulted in an added work load for you, I really do understand how to fly a STAR and ILS approach.

No worries, hopefully we will see you again next time when you have the Wilco CRJ7 mastered.

Try some youtube tutorials for the plane. Although they may not be exact operations they are very helpfull for getting started!
