Get an instructor mmedrano!! I have Real Flight as well and i would agree about getting disoriented sometimes. Sometimes you just cant seem to find the runway...or you'll find it sooner than expected. The thing to do is to adjust the view settings. You can set where the pilot (you) stands, then where to look. You can tell the pilot to look at a fixed point so you'll always have landmarks in your view. If you do this, you will want the viewport turned on and the plane will become a small speck after a while unless you have a $600 video card. Just throw the viewport in there and youll know which way the plane is facing. Just my 2 cents.
