Have been working my way through the second tutorial by Fred Clausen and have encountered two problems. Under the heading "Flight Deck Preparation" the instruction is to:-Ensure that the ENGINE VALVE CLOSED lights are illuminated -Ensure that the SPAR VAVLE CLOSED lights are illuminated-FILTER BYPASS lights are extinguishedThe engine and spar valve lights are not illuminated. Does this matter? Does not seem to affect anything. Can I control them and if so how?Second problem: In my first attempt at the flight, I ended up WAY to high and unable to cross PAPPI at 5000ft. Anyone else have the same problem. WIll work my way through it again and see if I made a mistake!!!Thanks for any help and suggestions.Dave

The fuel system follows the FS keystrokes, but the levers and light logic do not - yet.

I have the same problem, way too high and no landing. I cannot find *wavie' and therefore everything goes wrong, no turning to RW 27L, I have written to Fred Clausen, but heard nothing.Ole
