	Hey you guys I love the way the 200 look and I'm not intending buying until Captain Sim release the full package but without an FMS im clueless on how to fly this plane and navigate and land lol.. Can any good pilot point me out to a good location where I can start learning this and figuring out how real pilots from the 70s did this.. To me seem really complicated.. Thanks Carlitos

	Start by learning the basics of VOR to VOR navigation, if you can master this you'll be navigating the 737-200 like a pro in no time. I would post a link for a VOR navigation tutorial but I need at least 10 posts to do so, just google VOR navigation tutorial.

	You can get a LOT of free information on basic Vor/NDB flying from the "Aviator90" course at http://www.flyaoamedia.com/

	I think there is some basic instruction in the MS FSX help area on basic navigation,which is what you must learn to fly this model. It is a 60's vintage aircraft and did not have FMS or GPS. That is, it is trying to replicate the aircraft as it was,so you need to learn hand flying techniques to a much greater extent than a 737NGX for example. Ron

This CS 732 model is a VINTAGE series aircraft based on the what was available when the plane came out in the 60's. Pilots could find where they were going by VOR or NDB navigation not by looking a screen or entering way-points into a computer.

Thanks Carlitos if you're clueless on how to fly and NAVIGATE a plane without FMS you should go back to the basis before flying this baby. Jump into the Default Baron Cockpit and start learning radio navigation: You have VORs/DMEs and NDBs at your disposal and can do alot with them. Get some enroute charts (for Europe you can get them for free via Eurocontrol) and start familiarizing with basic radio navigation. Try navigation from and to VORs, then start flying and intercepting VOR radials, fly towards NDBs, use two VORs or a combination of VOR and NDB to navigate towards FIXES or determine your position. This is basic IFR navigation every pilot has to learn and will learn on smaller birds before transitioning towards bigger equipment.

Enjoy VOR-NDB old school flights! Yeeeeah!!! Thats why you are true superkool guys. And dont you dare to clean the cockpit on any of your planes!!! About radionav - its simple and maps not required to start to use it. FSX have map, and all required data right there. real maps offcourse gives a lot more "feel of it"
