           Hello,
    
    I have a question that I cant seem to find the answer for about the takeoff.  My question is when climbing to the criuse altititude I dont know how many many feet per minute to go up to reach the cruise altitude and what speed to handle while doing so .

        If anyone has any type of info or a website it would be much approved.

          Thank you

generally 1800 feet per minute works well, but things like 737 757 can prob go upwards of 2500FPM, thats what i do.
as for speed, 250 below flight level 180, then cruise speed above
Is that any help??

Oh boy, this could be done is so many different ways. Depending on weight, winds, speed restrictions, noise abaitments, ATC vectoring etc. There is no right or wrong here, really.

However, One way to do it (Boeing 737 wise) is to keep your speed at 250KIAS untill you've passed 10.000 feet. This will give you a pretty aggressive climb which every airline wants.
When passing 10.000ft try to climb with a speed of 290KIAS. Of course this will result in a less steep of a climb, but this is very fuel efficient and very close to how it works in the real life. Make sure to monitor your V/S aswell, since it will continously decrease the higher up you fly. Just be sure to maintain those 290 knots and you'll be fine. If you're flying over FL300 expect the V/S to be around 800-700feet or so. Cruise speed should be no lower than 295KIAS though...mach .78 will do fine.

BTW, You must have Indicated airspeed checked on the options menu, or else this will not work  Smiley

Yes,

  They both help also I just landed at Denver Intl. with the Boeing 777 and wouldn't intercept the glideslope.  There was thought a little what seemed maybe to be a glideslope but there wasn's a big glideslope around the main part of the panel?

My little Cessna 150 requires around 500 feet per minute, to climb from take-off, without loosing any air speed, which would result in a "stall"... Wink...!
...just remember to keep a careful eye on your air speed indicator...and make sure that it's increasing all the time, and NOT decreasing...LOL...LOL...LOL...!

One way to intercept the glideslope is to approach from level with APR activated, and let the glidelope indicator drop to meet your height. Don't forget that the localizer often activates before the glideslope does, especially if you are in level flight approaching the airport. If you don't make a smooth approach to it, then FS maybe won't pick it up.
