, just

for take off Greg, it depends on your weight and takeoff distance, but its a general rule that a 3/4 full plane needs 10-15 degrees of flaps. when landing, depending again on weight/fuel remaining, depends on flaps, but somewhere around 30-40 degrees which is normally full. 10-15 flaps on take off reduces your take off roll distance. Full power is not needed either, perhaps 85%, then reduce once above 1000ft. retract gear as soon as a steady climb is acheived. you should also apply a light amount of trim on elevator for take off.

to use autopilot, you must first setup up your altitude height that you want the autopilot to climb to, and then set the climb speed, around 1500-1800fpm. then follow ATC instructions regarding altitude heights to your cruising altitude.

for the time when your on a plane and the pilot is dead or unable to fly the plane so when the hostest is asking if anybody have flown a plane you can say well i have on a sim.

dont forget to check the passenger manifest, if HEFFERS Are not evenly distributed throughout the cabin you will need to make adjustments to compensate.

greg

get yourself over to AVSIM, download Project Opensky's 767 model, and then the Rolls Royce RB211-524 soundset, crank the speakers and listen to the noise

havent had a proper lesson in a while, but when funds permit i will be going for my PPL. then the CPL if i win the lotto.

spec needed for FSX, guessing it will be minimum of 1.5ghz processor, 512mb RAM, DX9 hardware compatible GFX card, 20GB free HD space, then recomended will be 2ghz processor, 1GB RAM, DX10 Compatible GFX card (not even on the market yet)

no... use about 20 degree (1/3-1/2 slat)

no aircraft take off with flaps fully extended, this would hinder acceleration on the take off roll

Greg - Weren't you having a go at this last year?

Have a look at the Checklists before take off, plus do the basic lessons so you know all about pitch, trim etc..

A320 series regularly take off with full flaps for STOL purposes
