  1. I havn't flown FS2020 much yet. I came from the prevoius version and figured out quite a bit about flying the Boeing 737 VFR and starting with IFR and using ATC. To my chagrin the 737 is not in FS2020 (why not???), and the (unwanted) autothrust (okay: unaccustomed to) has cost the lives of thousands of virtual passengers (I always manage to survive, somehow). Is there a tutorial for this? Why isn't there a training module for 737 "pilots" needing to learn how to convert to Airbus A320? I have two identical monitors, but spreading the cockpit view across both or part of both gives a black gap where the monitors' frams are against each other. I read I can pick up instruments "by the glass" to put them on the second monitor. What in the world does "pick up by the glass" mean anyway? Apparently that only takes the actual insturment, not the buttons. So far I have only been flying the Airbus 320 Neo take off and landing instructions, but I can't move any of the instruments to the other monitor. Has anybody written a good suggestion for a layout on two monitors, preferably in language that a lay person can understand (e.g.: with NO unexplained abbreviations). On these Airbus A320 Neo lessons the engine sound is so loud, that it overpowers the instructions, and especially in flight I regularly can't hear what I am supposed to do. The result is that I fail the lesson. I have turned the volume on the engine noise to 14 and voice is at 100, but that has no effect on engine noise level. Is that just a bogus option, or does it just not work in lessons? In the landing lesson I can read that I am supposed to be 3 degrees below horizontal. What I can see in the cockpit view and that insturement is so small that I cannot see the numbers / degrees. I am supposed to have 2 white lights and 2 red light in the airport glide indicator. The name of that system was mentioned once, and I don't remember it. Even when I zoom in the cockpit view, I can't see those 4 lights until it is too late. Remember, I said earlier that I was able to land VFR and just getting the hang of landing 737s IFR both in the dark and in fog. When I switch to follow plane or outside view (in the takeoff and landing lessons), I am missing some pretty important instruments, like the artificial horizon and climb rate. I have to maintain level flight by arresting my altitude changes. What am I doing wrong? David
