When I am ready for take off,I start moving fast but the instractor is telling me

"You are going too fast for taxi ....".How can he really know,if the plane in taxi or taking off position ?

Bye

David

Thanks for your question.

This is all explained in the manual's section on Flight Modes.

In FSFlyingSchool, as in real life, it is necessary for the pilot to decide to takeoff. The pilot must prepare for takeoff, complete check lists, tell passengers, etc. This is accomplished in FSFlyingSchool by advancing the flight mode from taxi to takeoff.

The manual describes this in detail, but you advance the flight mode by pressing Ctrl Shift Z or Ctrl Shift 1.

At this point, the instructor will say "OK We've finished taxiing and are about to take off."

If the pilot speeds up beyond taxiing speed without telling the instructor he/she is about to take off, then the instructor will criticize the pilot for taxiing too fast.

FSFlyingSchool deliberately does not assume that the pilot is taking off simply because he/she is taxiing too fast.

So... taxi at taxi speeds and when ready, line up with the centre line and then, when ready, advance the flight mode to takeoff.

FSFlyingSchool does automatically detect its other flight modes of cruise and landing, but even these can be overridden by the pilot, by using the keystrokes described in the manual.

Many customers program such keystrokes into their yokes or joysticks for convenience.

Please be sure to read the manual as it contains a great deal of information which will make your experience with FSFlyingSchool much more satisfying.

Please let us know how you get along with FSFlyingSchool and don't hesitate to ask any more questions you may have.

Yes,now I get a grasp of all the concept.

The only snag is the Ctrl+Shift+Z ,I will try to define a button on my Saitek X52 Bye

David

Good idea to use a button on the joystick or yoke.

Note that in most cases, FSFS will do all the detection for you automatically with the exception of declaring a takeoff.

This in itself keeps you on your toes - if the pilot flies a sloppy route and decends when cruising, FSFS will declare that you're about to land. FSFS keeps your flying crisp and accurate!
