Sorry, I mixed two posts. That image was for other post. 😐

I had the same takeoff issue (your question 2) and I believe I fixed it by “resetting” or “recalibrated” within msfs control options screen, especially if using rudder pedals hardware. (The sim though i was constantly pressing the brakes)

Another question: 

4. How do I know which is the last update? I know that I installed Nordic update...

I don’t think you can use the sim without the newest update as it updates automatically when it needs too once the sim starts up.

Flightsim.to has hundreds of addons to download and add to MSFS.

"MSFS Faster Video Intro" addon speeds up loading.

"MSFS Hudbar" reads out in digits things hard to find on the dashboard, such as what your trim values are, and flightplan info, and Autopilot info. You can click on them to reset or change them. the gears, the flaps, the simulation rate, a zillion others (MSFS lets you speed up or slow down the whole program). You can drag the window down to almost hide it to get it out of sight too.

Sorry, we are mixing a lot of things. I don't know what are you talking 😐 I am new to this simulator. Now I am calibrating the rudder and yoke but it seems that I never get the center of both even doing it by windows. But this is on another post.

Did you watch the tutorial video on setting up controls?

I am seeing all the videos...

A perfect example of why a user manual would have been a good idea.

Well, not really an user manual but at least some information. Layout is different, we have now a lot of cameras and 3D panels only, etc...

I am 81 years old. I got MSFS 5 months ago, and within a day, I figured out 90% of what I needed to know, in order to fly this sim. Just required a bit of reading , study, and research using this forum and Google. Not rocket science.

All the information you need to answer your questions is available via a simple google search.

Should I install SDK 0.13.0?

I can not use the camera around the airport. The video is not explaining it well.

Another issue seen in a video > I cannot get access to aircraft packages in AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects. Where to find it?

Most probably true.  While I'm using the sim I'm not keen on typing into internet to search for stuff using my other screen.

I bought a manual online, printed it off and that worked well for me.  Sure helps one get started.

I am trying step by step the videos.

It seems that yoke and pedals are ok. Only brakes are not ok because two cables inside were cut. I have to repair them.  

But I am finding some strange little things like having AI traffic OFF but still seeing all the traffic at KSEA for example. It is just the first approach...
