You beat me to the post! Smiley

Next paycheck for me.  I just bought JFK and a Carenado Cessna.

I've been checking the Aerosoft website practically every day since June waiting for this beauty.  I can't wait to get it! Grin

Got it.  Damn that's a huge file!

I flew it but I have some problems:

1) can't turn on instruments like MFD
2) my flap controls don't work

It looks nice but I'll have to sort things out.

1.)  Check the manual, but there's a number of switches on the right console, under where you're right arm would be that must be turned on to turn on the MFDs and other systems.  I'll post some pictures in a bit.

2.)  You don't control the flaps on the F-16, that's all built into the fly-by-wire system.  All you have to do is point the jet where you want to go, and it will take care of the rest. Wink

Thanks!  That helps.  I'll start on that manual.

Happy flying,

Wanna have some fun?  Fly around and intercept AI that shows up on the radar screen. 

There's so much to learn.  Best VC I'v ever seen in a fighter.  The flight manual is informative but not too long so it looks easy to learn the controls.  I need to get used to the fly-by-wire, my control inputs feel slightly delayed.

A gold mine for screenshots!
