Sorry mate, it doesnt work like that. You cant get that option on FSX. You have to use the GPS in FSX or get ATC to guide you... i think!

If you set up a flight plan (File->flight planner), you can get ATC guidance. Just hit the ` key (The one next to the 1 at the top of the keyboard) to open up the atc menu, and you can figure it out from there.

thanks for your help. yes i did that but the only related thing about it is
request flight following and i dont hear anything. the other one was
request airport location and the woman tells me where is the airport
but not like "head 150 d, or clime to 3000, or turn left and turn right"

I'd love that because its much easier than checking the gps every
minute and its more realistic.

I get ATC on multiplayer but those are real people..can the pc do it
for you? is there someowhere else besides the radio options? because
its not in radio options.

Make sure you're filing as an IFR flight plan. (Instrument Flight Rules)
