NO LONGER IN DEVELOPMENT. See my profile for other (more realistic) simulators. Press [1] or [2] to start. [Space]- increase thrust [S]- decrease thrust [Left arrow]- pull up [Right arrow]- pitch down [Q, A]- change flaps [L]- toggle autopilot (keeps speed the same) [G]- toggle landing gear [B]- brakes [F]- toggle seatbelt light (it does save lives) [D]- dump fuel (requires confirmation, [D] to continue, other key to cancel) Extra controls: [9] - show/hide crash data [i ] - show/hide runway list (yellow number is your location, items with 1= runway) EDIT: Yellow numbers no longer appear in Scratch 3.0, so you will not see your location. ══════════════════════════════════ Having trouble trying to fly? READ BELOW: TAKING-OFF: 1. Set flaps to 17° (depends on weight, etc.) 2. Increase thrust using [space], and accelerate to about 230kph. 3. Press [<] to pitch up off the runway. You want a pitch around 10 degrees. 4. Press [G] to raise landing gear 5. When safely cruising, press [F] to turn off seatbelt light. LANDING: 1. Apply seatbelt light with [F] (you want to notify your passengers) 2. Wait for the information to say you have reached runway. 3. Lower landing gear with [G] 4. Level out to 0° pitch. 5. Slow down enough, so you slowly glide to the ground. WHAT FLAPS DO: • They slow down the plane more • They provide more lift, reducing takeoff speed STARTING THE GAME • If you seriously chose not to read the instructions in the game itself, I will put it right here: Press [1] for infinite runway. Press [2] for finite runway length. It's that easy! There shouldn't be anyone who asks how to start the game when it says it right at that screen. Now you are ready to take off! If you are stuck here, read the instructions again! It is just above. Honestly, I am surprised how so many people do not know how to read instructions. Congratulations to you, the minority of people who read to the end to understand how to fly. Also, if you are having trouble taking off, do an attempt, then press [o]. Paste the flight data in a comment and I will try and help.
