I'm absolutely a 'newbie' to FS Flying School, and I have a question, so please bear with me.
During my inaugural (sp) flight from O'hare to Midway, my instructor said "No flaps during taxi" (thank you)
but, after I received & confirmed "IFR" takeoff clearance - the instructor kept telling me "Taxiing too fast" and
eventually asked "Are you taking off ?".
Is this the correct function ? Or did I miss a lesson ? (my dog ate my homework !!)
Cheers
Biggles

| You and flight instructor need to be on same page....You need to press the Shift-Ctrl-Z to advance to takeoff mode, then you won't hear those messages. As Squadron Leader has told me many times, check out the manual about advancing and going backwards between legs of flight...

Thanks muchly for the info. I thought I'd pressed the CTRL-SHIFT-Z; But it's very possible I missed it.
(At this point, rather obvious I missed it) When I reload to the new computer; I will give it another try.
Cheers

| Hey Biggles, It's nothing....no matter how many times I read it, I kept pressing the Ctrl-ALT-Z instead of Shift - Ctrl - Z for the longest time and couldn't figure why it didn't work?  Good Luck!

JoeMini:
I think that's exactly what I did (CTRL-ALT-Z) rather than CTRL-SHIFT-Z !!
Manual is printed, and in my Flight Sim "Book", (along with printed airport diagrams).
Just heard that my 'NEW' computer has been shipped !!!
Thanks
Biggles

Ole:
Not sure I'm ready for 'Around the World' (just yet). Eventually ? Possibly.
I've logged a couple hundred hours, mostly Daylight VFR in a Cessna 172,
but only as time permits - until I complete the sale of my business, and 'retire'.
I fly around British Columbia (home port CYVR), and with the addition of scenery
packs, am revelling in it's natural beauty.
My goal is to use FS Flyingschool to become more proficient, and more professional at
flying FS/X.
Thanks for asking, and keep up the great work.
Biggles

| Biggles'll go for it in the end - I think. We'll find him a Sopwith Camel and a bad guy to chase and he'll be off like a shot...
