Wherein I describe the (simplified -- and entirely imaginative/fictional) procedures used by Kerbals to make instrument approaches under Instrument Meteorological Conditions (i.e. in clouds). Once everyone has "the hang" of how this thread goes, anyone is welcome to contribute. (I may or may not list your approach in the Approach Index; e.g. if it is a duplicate for a destination.) Simulating IMC in KSP: Point your Flight View camera directly upward for a view of the belly of your aircraft. Questions?? Note that flying outbound from a fix, some procedures will use the distance from that fix and, in stock KSP, that will be effected by pointing the camera rearward and using [F4] to activate target markers in the Flight View, thus displaying the distance back to the fix -- but without giving sufficient clues for visual flight. It is actually recommended to fly a procedure once in VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions) to either familiarize oneself with the particular procedure, or perhaps once only just to see how a type of approach works...

Ha ha ha.
