Finally I can land


When everyone are enjoying their holidays and so i do...i have been practicing flight simulator for two years but i didnt really get into it cause every time i fly and i crash so i easily get disappointed. I also have stopped for a while last semester as i m busy for something. When flying the tutorial i can land but when going to free flight with B737-800 from langkawi to penang i cant land it smoothly...During the tutorial by using learjet c-70 the 1st officer will take over the radio communication and the ils(instrument landing system) also turn on by the 1st officer...the approach altitude and speed is also check by the 1st officer or can be say computer, i just follow and feel the joystick, end up i can land in tutorial. Finding an airport by using navigation is not hard but when come to controlling aircraft speed there is the problem...I still need to figure out how to use ils. As what i read from website there is certain procedure to carry on, like setting frequency of atc(air traffic control) and get contact of it.But after i read it i still cant get it. Dont know where to switch on. Really need to know all of that...i can land at penang this past weekend because i have been practicing for 3 days of holidays ...sure no problem as when i see the island i know what is the speed should set and the altitude as well. This is not i know how to use ils but is i play until familiar already hahaha...Hardly practice until the papi light(precision approach path indicator) change to 2 red 2 white...always get 4 red walao...poor FS pilot...But finally with all this 3 days practice, i can land liao hehe...without crash and can taxing to the gate...wahahaha...
