Problems with IFR in FSX

Hello,

This is just a general question to anyone really to see if they are having the same problems or if its just me.

Since playing FSX now for 3 days im finding it incredibly hard to follow an IFR flight plan. there is a new option "follow flight plan" or something on those lines which i never saw in FS09...what does this mean?? any help wud be ace, coz i finally thought i had it solved with FS09 and thought that i could re live my Europe Tour with the much improved scenery in FSX.

thanx for any help
