alright buddy here it goes. fell free to take notes. first check to make sure the brakes are on (shift :( then power up ur aircraft using the page up button. nextif ur flyin somethin big u might wanna tap "a" once or twice.then right click once to control the yoke(kind of a stick but with 2 handles its used on most big aircraft and personal aircraft. and u right click again to change ur view. and then 1 more time to get back to where u started. get control of the yoke and release the brakes also it can be helpful to extend the flaps. ( ] ) and and ( [ ) to bring the flaps back in u may have to press the flaps many times b4 they are fully extended.( but extend the flaps b4 relesing the brakes. good luck land is well......... different not to hard but not all that easy.
