X Plane 10 Part 2

X Plane 10 : Part 2

 After reading my first post, you must be interested in how to play. Today, I am going to do that and teach you how to takeoff and set up. Click on free flight to go to the screen. Choose your aircraft. You must unlock your aircraft before playing with it. The Cessna 172 will be used for this tutorial, as I use FSX for laptops to play with jumbos! Click the next icon of a mountain to choose your location. Choose Seatac, WA for this tutorial. Choose the weather. Go to advanced mode to set some other fun stuff. I am going to make it sunny and clear. Choose the time of play. I like flying by day. Finally, choose failures. Click set all to working. I think we will talk about failures later as it was made too complicated! When you click fly, you should pop into the screen. Hold it comfortably. That will be the center of controls. You should have learned in the last tutorial how to do things, so if you did not read it, read back as you will not know how to do things. Set your flaps to 10° or dragging down on the button once. The button is in the bottom right of your screen. Now throttle up to full and turn of your parking brakes in the bottom left corner. Use your rudder to control the aircraft. Hit the three lines to pause now. Go to the cockpit view. Watch for 60 knots. Then, you can takeoff. You can go up at 55, but in case you stall out because you are new, we are going to use a 5 knot safety cushion and 60 is on the speed display. 55 is not on it. Once you get 60 knots, point your nose up to 10° by looking in the HUD. Once you start to lose speed, or you are at 1000 feet (our cruising altitude), drag up once on the button. Tap on the near top of the screen and click ALT to hold the altitude. Fly and line up with a runway and then read the next piece, being published tomorrow. If you want to play with your friend, click create server. Choose all the settings and then wait in the lobby. Invite a friend to play and they should get the invitation in Game Center. When he or she accepts, click the check mark in the bottom right. Then click fly if there is an option to load up the multiplayer server. It could also just take you straight into the game. Enjoy playing with your friends and happy flying!
