Important Health Warning About Playing
Video Games
Photosensitive Seizures
Avery small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear
in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling
down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of
these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the
above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to
experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the
following precautions:
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.

FLYING TIPS
INSIDE INFORMATION FOR NEW PILOTS
□ Take the Tutorials
On the Main menu, click Missions, and then go through the
short tutorials to learn the basics of flying.
P > ■
d Use a Joystick or Controller
For many, it’s easier to fly with a joystick or controller.
D Be Gentle
Use a light touch on the controls. Make very small
movements with whatever control-input device you’re
using.
D Get Your Bearings
Look around and get your bearings by using the hat switch
on your joystick or the right stick on the controller, or by
pressing NUM LOCK and using the numeric keypad on the
keyboard.
D Retract and Extend the Landing Gear
If your plane has retractable landing gear, raise your
landing gear (press G) once airborne. The plane will fly
much better. And don’t forget to extend the gear before you
land.
D Can’t See What’s in Front of You?
If you are using the 2-D cockpit view, press W to improve
your view by reducing or eliminating the gauges and
controls. This does not work if you are in the virtual
cockpit view.
D Use Flaps
Set flaps for more lift at slow speeds while landing (press
F6 and F7 to retract and extend flaps incrementally). To
learn about flaps, see the “Cockpit Basics” article in the
Learning Center.
□ Take Lessons from a Friend
On the Main menu, click Multiplayer, and then fly over the
Internet with a friend. Your friend can act as your personal
instructor by sharing an aircraft.
n Get Help During Your Flight
Some pilots attach a clipboard with flight information to
their knee for easy access. Press SHIFT+FIO to display
the Kneeboard. The Flight Simulator X Kneeboard provides
a quick reference to commonly used key commands and
more. To hide the Kneeboard, click in the upper-right
corner of the Kneeboard.
n Trim Your Aircraft
A properly trimmed aircraft practically flies itself. Once
you’ve reached your desired altitude and heading, adjust
your trim until the aircraft maintains a steady altitude
and heading. To learn about trimming your aircraft, see the
“Cockpit Basics” article in the Learning Center.
n Give Yourself Room When Landing
When coming in for a landing, give yourself enough
distance to make a slow descent. A common mistake many
new pilots make is approaching the airport runway from
too high an altitude, and then trying to quickly descend.
Instead, plan your approach from a distance and take the
time to descend slowly.
n Take a Break
Press P at any time
to pause your flight.

□ MAKE IT EASY OR

CHALLENGES
THINK YOU'RE REALLY GOOD? TRY THESE!
Missions offer amazing challenges for beginning, intermediate,
advanced, and expert pilots. On the Main menu, click Missions,
and then select a mission that features a challenge that
interests you.
Free Flight allows you unlimited ways to challenge yourself.
Try some of these...
D Ply from Tower View
Ever watched someone fly a radio-controlled plane? You
can recreate this experience in Flight Simulator X. Take
off from an airport, switch to the nearest tower (press S),
and try your hand at remote control flight. Turns, climbs,
rolls, and dives all become much more challenging from a
different perspective.
D Add Some Gray Hairs
Take a Cessna up to about 5,000 feet and then switch off
the engine (press CTRL+SHIPT+P1). Airplanes are built to
fly, so you should be able to glide your way to a safe landing.
Give this a try sometime to see how your aircraft really
responds without engine power.
n Put On Your Own Airshow
Ever marvel at a stunt pilot’s amazing performance? Wish
you could do that? Well, you can in Flight Simulator X.
Fire up the Extra 300S and take a few spins. You can get
the inside scoop on aerobatic maneuvers in the Learning
Center. Master moves like the Hammerhead, Split-S, and the
Cuban Eight. Press I to release smoke and show your stuff.
□ Ply Inverted
If you want to change your perspective, try flying upside
down. Use the Extra aircraft, which is built for stunt flying.
After building up speed, flip the plane over and see what it’s
like to fly inverted. Then try it with another aircraft!
□ How Low Can You Go?
Get up close and personal with Mother Earth by following
her terrain. Find yourself some rolling plains, canyons,
or hillsides and see how far you can skim along without
nose-planting into some grassy knoll. Then punch up the
airspeed another notch with a faster plane and try it again!
INSIDER INFORMATION
□ WHAT’S YOUR VIEW OF THE WORLD?
Flight Simulator X has a view to match every
taste. Press S to cycle view categories. Press A to
cycle through the views within a category. You’ll be
surprised by what you’ll be able to see. Try them out
and see which view you prefer.
CHALLENGES
CHALLENGES
□
□
Reach for the Stars
They say the world’s getting smaller. For a sense of how
that looks, try this: switch to Slew mode (Press Y), which
allows you to change the location of the aircraft. Then press
F4 to send the plane upwards. Keep going. And going. And
going. Before long you’ll notice that the air’s getting thin.
Then the stars come out. And then you’ll see the earth
below turning into a big, blue marble. Be aware that your
aircraft won’t fly properly outside the Earth’s atmosphere.
We’ll See You on a Slow Boat
We’ve re-created over 150 maritime travel routes, populated
with oil tankers, cargo ships, and cruise lines. So the next
time you’re making that trans-Pacific flight, see if you can
spot someone having a good time.
Moonlighting
You can check out the different phases of the moon from
within Flight Simulator X. Choose a nighttime location
close to home. Use Slew mode (press Y) to position the
aircraft and view so you can get a great look at the moon.
Then change the date to see how the moon changes. (On
the In-Game menu, click World, and then click Time and
Season.)
□
Fly with the Greatest of Ease
There’s nothing quite like the experience of silent soaring
in a sailplane. The key to gliding success is locating
thermals and leveraging their updrafts to stay aloft. Press
CTRL+SHIFT+Y to call a tow plane. Release from the tow
plane by pressing SHIFT+Y. (You may want to try Mission
Tutorial 7: Introduction to Soaring.)
Can You Fly in Formation?
Have you ever seen airshow pros fly in formation? You can
stretch your wings in formation too. Use multiplayer mode
to find some partners, work out the details with them using
the in-game chat or voice communications, and make your
way through the skies in style.
Home Field Advantage
Flight Simulator X offers over 24,000 airports worldwide—
that’s enough for several lifetimes of takeoffs and landings.
But here’s a fun activity that’s quickly achievable: see how
long it takes you to visit every airport in your locale. Click
Free Flight, and then click Change under Current Location.
Use the filters to find the airports near you.
Depending on what plane you’re flying, you could run into
some very interesting takeoff and landing challenges.
INSIDER INFORMATION
□ THAR SHE BLOWS!
It’s a lifelike wind that blows through the world of
Flight Simulator X— especially when you turn on
real-world weather! Using live data from weather
monitoring stations, you can fly across the world
experiencing the same weather as real-world pilots.
On the Main menu, click Free Flight and change
the current weather.
