I am learning all about VATSIM..(I amtrying) I have registered and have installed the basic required s/w.. I think. But before I venture into the net...and annoy people.. I have a couple of Qs.1. Somewhere I read.. that once I am in.. I should not "Pause". fair enough... but how is that possible? The moment I hit the "alt" button for the menu for something.. it pauses.. How can I avoid this? Sometimes... when I am on the net.. I get the nasty Junk pop ups that sometimes pauses my Fsim too.2. this may sound silly.. what and how do I "Slew"? I have been using Fsim all these years.. without knowing what that means. :)3. What other settings that I have to do..before I go on VATSIM.net... Any ideas and suggestions?thanks.

Hi Manny,1. To not pause, from within the sim select Options/Settings/General then uncheck pause on task switching.2. To slew your aircraft to another position, press the y key, this will put you into slew mode. the Q and A key give you up and down. Your arrow keys will move you laterally. The 5 key on the keypad stops all movement(with num lock off).Hope this helps,Chuck CYXU
