I am new to this simulator and I have some questions about the flying in CFS3:

1. When I fly a campaign can I just start by already being in the air? It was interesting the first few times when I had to start the engine take off etc. It is now boring. However, in the unlikely event I return intact and I approach or warp to my airbase the ‘goal completed’ window appears I can exit the game before landing. The landing is the most challenging and the only non-optional part of flying. I fly general aviation airplanes and I want to work on landings as much as possible. I find it especially interesting if I land when my simulated plane is damaged.
2. When my plane occurs damage is scrolls on the screen. I am not looking at the screen when I am getting shot up, as I am trying to get away. Is there a log or someway to look at the damage done to your airplane. I want to know what damage is effect on flight controls fly poorly and how to compensate. This is situation awareness. Landing a damaged airplane is challenging. I want to know exactly what situation I am in.
3. I am one of those people who dislike reading on-line files, I would like to find a printed booklet of the CFS3 with the Help and Handbook files.

How do you add a picture to your profile? I do not have a web page to link to.

1. Landing is optional in CFS3. When the mission completed window comes up, simply click debrief.

2. Not to my knoledge but you'll notice the damage while trying to fly.

3. You'll have to print the manuels out. Not recomended if you don't have a laser printer.

To get the picture in your profile, you have to link it from another site or upload it here. To upload, click the Upload Image link at the top of this screen. Upload your shot but be sure to follow the rules. You may have to resize the image.
When the upload is complete, copy the link and place it in your profile. Where it says "image.jpg" at the end of the link, chage image to the what ever the picture was named.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

I guess I was not clear in question 1. I want to skip the takeoff.

This can be done in training why not on missions and champains?
