    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.

    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.

    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.
  • Question
    How do I change the view for the airplane?
    Community Answer
    Ctrl left/right for quick turning or alt left/right for slow turning. You cannot just hold it.

    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.
