Getting Clearance
How do I get clearance to take off?
First, make sure that your waypoint is set to #1. You will only get clearance to take-off once other flights are cleared. Sometimes you may be faced with a wait while ATC gets their act together. You will then be given the proper clearance to take-off. Posted by: Brent Norman
I use shift S to skip to the runway and the take off clearance usually follows straight away.

Emergency Landing
What about Emergency Landing?
According to the manual there is an Emergency Landing request command.
However, it didn't make it to the first release. MAYBE it could be in the patch. Posted by: Len Hjalmarson
Correct . There is no emergency landing option in the current release. Just go ahead and land.

Fuel Display
Why do the fuel to base indicators change when using afterburners?
When you engage afterburners you are dumping extra fuel into the jet pipes (hence after-burn), so your rate of fuel consumption goes up dramatically.

Navigating with Waypoints
Can anyone tell if there is a way to setup each waypoint ahead of time; for example,I would like to be able to set all before take off, then not worry about it, but it appears that I have to take care of each one in flight. .

While you are on the ground, or in the air, just hit pause and make your adjustments [to the autopilot..Ed.] You can do that while in pause. It is also fair since it takes you longer with a mouse than it does a real pilot by hand.Gambit

How do I find the airfield.
One solution is to engage the ILS and then follow the waypoint carret.

I wanted to dump my air to ground for a dogfight. Also is there a way to tell when the external fuel tanks are empty? Posted by: Ricky Schehr
Check the manual again. I keep thinking that ALT-K jettisons fuel only, whereas ALT-J will jettison everything - leaving you in a clean configuration. I believe you can find out what the status of your external tanks are by pressing MFD three and selecting 'STO.' Select your fuel tanks to see which are empty. Posted by: Armando J. Heredia

Taxiing
...while taxing does your aircraft have the turn radius of an oil tanker?
From experience I know that aircraft nose steering is pretty sensitive and I would prefer it to be the same here. Anybody have an idea?
Rudder pedals seem to change yaw while in flight at low speed. Nose wheel steering seems to work well while taxiing. "shift ." goes right, "shift ," goes left. try it
Posted by: surfdog try the left"shift/" wheel brakes to increse turn radias heheh like driving a farm tractor....
