Thanks to all for the replies and links. Guess I will have to be patient and practice, practice, practice.Also, I am still wondering why MS can't introduce settings so that a real dummy like me (I don't have foot pedals) has so much difficulty? Sounds like most responses are satisfied with present settings, but I think they are missing a bet by not allowing someone like me to get up and flying sooner.

Yeah, I have never personally flown a real-world helicopter, but I have seen footage of someone that thought he could fly one with no training. Needless to say, the results were... well... bad. I don't know what this guy was thinking. [a href=http://media.ebaumsworld.com/index.php?e=drinkandfly.wmv]Copter Crash[/a]----------------------------------------------------------------John S. MorganReal World: KGEG, UND Aerospace Spokane Satillite, Private 130+ hrs.Virtual: MSFS 2004"There is a feeling about an airport that no other piece of ground can have. No matter what the name of the country on whose land it lies, an airport is a place you can see and touch that leads to a reality that can only be thought and felt." - The Bridge Across Forever: A Love Story by Richard Bach
