Hold the Page Up key, making sure you don't have flaps on. If you have flaps on, hold Shift and press F till it's gone.

Question

How do I maintain level flight using keyboard controls?

Community Answer

When you are level, horizontally, press c to reset your ailerons. To stay level with the ground, keep your hud at 0 degrees by clicking up and down on the arrow keys.

Question

Is there an option for water landings?

Community Answer

No, at least not yet. If the water is deep enough, the plane will simply 'fly' through the body of water.

Question

What will happen after I come to a complete stop?

Jackson Quesinberry

Community Answer

Nothing. You can throttle up to take off again, or you can humorously lift the gears to crash.

Question

How can I remove a HUD overlay?

Community Answer

Removing the HUD overlay on the flight simulator can be achieved by pressing the H key on the keyboard. This will remove all green markings from the screen, but you will still be able to use the controls. You can also toggle the HUD by pressing the H key repeatedly.

Question

Can the plane actually crash?

Community Answer

Yes. If you try to land on an area that is not an airport, or if you are going too fast and try to land, your plane will crash.

Ctrl left/right for quick turning or alt left/right for slow turning. You cannot just hold it.

Question

how do you even move?

Poxy 6

Community Answer

In order to get the aircraft in motion, you need to use the Page Up key. Not the up arrow key, but a separate key above the arrow keys called the Page Up key.
