Picking up IFR clearanc from non-towered in IMC

[aquince]

Hello everyone. I have my PPL and am looking forward to using X-Plane and PE to dive into IFR training (I-1 rating in my sights...). I viewed all of the PE workshops in a fairly short time frame (great stuff, BTW) and I think this may have been addressed in there somewhere, but I don't remember which video...

Anyway, my question is regarding IFR flight from a non-towered airport that is IMC (no option to take off VFR and pickup the clearance in the air). In the RW I believe I would call FSS by phone to pick up my clearance. How should this scenario be handled on PE? I really try to model reality as closely as possible with my procedures when I'm simming, but I'm guessing there's a work-around I should use here.

Thanks for your help!

The I-7 rating covers this. Since there is no FSS support, contact Approach on the published frequency. You should be able to reach them from the ground at your desired airport.

Perfect, thanks!
