Flight instructions:
Takeoff: Press 1, 2, and 3 to activate the lights, then press 4 and move the VTOL slider up and then turn off 4; 5 is flaps. Hit 5 and move the VTOL halfway up and put throttle to full. Then put trim halfway down when you hit 160, Press 4 again and move the VTOL down once you've gotten into the air, then turn 4 off again. Hit "G", or the landing gear button, and wait for the gear to go up. Then hit 4 and move the VTOL back up. Retract the flaps during this process, and move trim up to halfway between the middle and the first notch.

Landing: This is a rather tricky process if you're new to the game, but once you've figured it out it's as easy as anything. You need to be at least going 300mph when you're about 10-12 miles away from the runway, and you have to be over 10,000ft. Keep trim at a save level where you're not pitching up or down. Move the VTOL slider 1/4 the way up and hit 5. Wait 10 seconds and hit 4 and move the VTOL slider back to the middle, then open the gear. Once the gear is in place move the VTOL slider up and then hit 4. About a minute later hit 5 again and move the VTOL another quarter up to the half notch. Be sure to gradually slow your speed while you're doing this or you may stall. Once you're about 1,000ft (or 2,000ft, for yeager) Have your speed at 220-240, and the flaps at full. Lower your speed to at least 170mph, below that and you'd stall. Use trim to flare off and make the landing smooth. Touch down is easy, just hold the brakes until you're at 30mph, and taxi off the runway.
