Peter,
I just double checked and the settings seem fine and I don't think you are doing anything wrong. I am not sure what approval you are waiting for, you already have been approved and have a pilot # and you already have your password. So lets take this one step at a time......
I have to assume you can log on. Now you will need to decide if you want to fly charters or tours. If you are wanting to fly charters, you will open the settings in the first box to the left at the top and check flight # (the default is unchecked). Don't forget to save your settings.
If you are flying tours, then you don't (or shouldn't) need to change anything.
Flying tours you will go to the tour center and sign up for the first tour. Once signed up you will see your booked tour and on the right side is "details". Click on details and you will go to a new page with just the tour leg you selected and near the bottom you will see "fly leg" click on the red fly leg and you should see a big green check mark. Now, go to the cigar box and make sure you are connected to the web site and click on the top box to get get data....the form will populate. Load up the sim, make sure the second box on the left has a check mark and then press start.
If you are still having trouble, please be very specific on what you did and the result you got....good luck
