There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

This was me playing, a Very Fun Bird, the Pit is a Little Heavy on my FPS.

Try F2 - "Throttle reduce slowly". That's the default programmed key.
I know we're all effectively engineers here, and reading the finagling manual is against the rules, but this one - or at least the much shorter tutorial - is actually worth the effort. It ain't no Boeing, Jim.

You would probably have better results using the VS hold and controlling speed with the throttle.
What settings are you using in the configuration manager? Do you have FPS unlocked?
is the FPS same as the mustang? if so, I probably can't fly this thing.... most said about 5fps less tjhan L39 which should be like low 20s for me on the ground, about 28-30 in the air
I get FAR more fps with this plane than with the citation mustang.![]()
I think the Mustang is the hardest plane on FPS in the VC, at least if we're talking native FSX acft.

OK, for the FMC, make sure in the FPL page you've got at least a starting and ending airport.
Second, hit "plan". You'll need to enter in the reserve fuel. Then go to page 6 of the plan pages. Then enter in the payload- that is: ACM, FULL WT., AFT, POD and CLOSET added together from your load sheet. This number should be in the thousands range if you've done it right.
Next, go to the VNAV page. Select DATA?. Enter in your cruise altitude in the correct spot.
Once you've got those entered, hit Direct to on the left side. Choose your second waypoint on the list, not the starting airport. Hit enter until it shows information about the next waypoint (distance, heading, time, etc.). Once you've done that, hit the square LNAV button (above the backup altimeter), turn the left BRG knob to LNAV if you'd like, enable the AP, then hit NAV mode. It should then follow the route in the FMC. You can then also have it follow VS or IAS until your cruising altitude.
The first time through it might be a little awkward, but after a few times it should be second nature. It may seem like a lot at once, but it is much easier than learning a FMC in a heavier jet, that's for sure.
Hope this helps you guys. Any questions, just ask away. :ernae:
