1.What is the approach button function?

The approach button lines you up with, and brings you down to, the runway. It's pretty much an auto-land feature. To learn how to use it, visit the simviation homepage and go to the tutorials. Download the ILS tutorial. ILS is the Instrument Landing System, which uses the approach button.

2.In a regular airline with regular jets, (Boeing, airbus, douglas) What is the regular taxi speed?

Some people say less than 60 knots, some people say it's 20. I tend to keep to about 25kts, but I think it varies.

3.What is the function of the course button, do I have to use it?, or I can use only the nav and hdg buttons?

The course button is usually used to line up the runway in the ILS. It's not necessary, but helpful. The NAV button will keep your aircraft on it's flightpath specified by the course planner in FS2002, and the HDG is used for when you manually want to follow a course. For instance, when following an IFR flight plan and approaching your destination, the ATC might say "Midland 085, you are six zero miles northwest of heathrow, turn left heading 100 descend and maintain 12000, expect vectors for ILS runway 27R approach". So you would use the HDG button to follow the course of 100 degrees.

4.What is the function of the y/d button?

Yaw Damper....I think it dampens any sharp moves you make. Not sure, to be honest!

5.What is the function of the bc button?

BackCourse - landing on a runway where it's opposite (for example, Runway 22's opposite is 4) has the ILS, but the one you want to land on does not have ILS.

6.What is the regular vertical speed in a comercial fligth?.( Take of).

The PSS Airbus's autopilot likes to climb at about 1800fpm, which I tend to think as the "regular" speed. I'm not sure what it is in real aviation. But as you get higher, the vertical speed should get slower.

Hope some of those help!

Well, seeing as how your questions seem to be pretty much answered, let me just say welcome to the world of flight simulation.  You're going to find that it's like nothing else you've ever tried in the world.  You'll find yourself frustrated at times, and you'll even curse at your computer, but you'll always be having fun, and you'll learn A LOT.

Don't worry about asking questions that you think are "too easy".  The people I've found here are really great and really easy to talk to.  If they know the answer, they'll give it to you.  There are a lot of very smart people here, take advantage of that.  (Not of them though.  lol)

Everyone was new once.  We all know that here.

Hi chacha...(that sounds very musical..)... ...!

Like all trainee pilots, how about doing a course in a Cessna 150/152 first, and get used to the flight controls, instruments, radios, and navigation aids?
Once you have mastered that, then progress onto larger and more complex aircraft.

Take it stage by stage... ...!

Cheers mate... ...!

One thing you will find EXTREMELY frustrating is when you are taxiing behind several aircraft and the lead aircraft, for no reason at all, stops ad just sits there indefinitely. Eventually it will move, but it gets old just waiting. Actually, it doesn't really move, it just disappears.

Um, ROnnie? Its not supposed to stop. Check your nodes with AFCAD, there must be something wrong. lol

Well, unfortunately, the FS CD is SEVERELY damaged, so I can't play it. I have decided to just wait for ACOF rather than buying another copy.

Thank you MattNW, do you mean opening the atc window and setting the traffic at 0 %? .
