Thanks PIC007, it make senses. It's just when I watched the prerecorded video, no trim change was made in the flight and the plane still climbed. That's where the confusion came from,Ok, just did another flight and I trimmed for the airspeed of 60 for the climb and when I hover over to the trim control, it says 3.6, I assume it's degree unit. However, in the recorded flight, it says 0.2 and it was still holding at 60MPH during the climb at full throttle.

Hello guys, I just bought this book called: Microsoft Flight Simulator X For Pilots: Real World Trainingand I am trying to fly a Cub and as stated in the book:When the airspeed reaches 55 mph, gently pull back on the stick, and the Cub will lift off . Now let go of the stick.We set the trim on the ground to give us a particular angle of attack as we climbed. Th e Cub should settle in to climbat about 60 mph. Depending on your realism settings, you might need some right rudder throughout the climb.At 55MPH, i gently pulled back and once the cub lifts off, I let go of the stick however, the airplane started to decend and not climbing with full power. Then I loaded the recorded flight and it seemed like I was doing everything right. I verified that the recorded flight was using the same engine power and trim that I was using however in the recorded flight, it was flying as described in the book.

Correct me if I am wrong, for IFR plan, the ATC will guide you along the way. However, I don't get any instructions...I usually Request IFR Clearance before take off and the ATC tells me to fly runway heading at certain altitude. After that, I get no instructions at all, I have to use my GPS to fly the correct route. Basically, I have to recreate the IFR plan when I am near the destination and then I will start to get landing instructions.I usually do Flight Following along the way but get no direction information, just acknowledgement.Also, for cruising altitude, I changed it in the Flight Planner, but the ATC is still using the default auto generated altitude.
