Please rate if you enjoy, thanks!

Watch the video as it may explain some things.

AP NAV: Select at least one waypoint on map by "Add" function. Turn NAV autopilot to make the aircraft follow directly to choosen waypoint. You can also use AP altitude to fly hands-free.

AP AUTOLAND: this maybe the hardtest part to set properly however it is fast and very efficient. Works best with no wind. Add waypoint as shown in Manual, somewhere near the runway treshold but give it some distance from it. Determine which runway direction are you approaching. It is important to set runway track on right side of the cockpit to let the aircraft follow strict localiser indication. This number should be in 0-360 degrees range as shown in manual. Airport elevation (alitude in meters when you stand on the runway but be careful as input is needed in meters and PFD screen shows it in feet - you can divide PFD value by 3.5 or use Airports Data Helper described below). Now you are ready to turn Autoland ON however be in right place to do it as aircraft may be not capable of reaching completely different track than your actual track. For track difference within 2 degrees you can be as close as 4km from runway, for +/- 5 you need at least 6/7km and it increases as difference increases. In autoland mode approach on full flaps with initial throttle around 60-70 and 40-50 on final - watch your airspeed. To disengage flare mode disconnect Autoland and to make it dissapear from the screen add more throttle. If it takes too long to intercept desired flight path the "APP Fail" indication can be shown but aircraft will still fight to catch it. See tips&tricks discussion for automatic Go-Around mode.

Airports Data Helper: press the button on the right side of the cockpit to view all main aiports data on map screen. Tap choosen one to see its data. After obtaining all needed information turn the function off. Information about other, smaller runways must be found by yourself as it differs with map seeds.

Adjustable throttle on flare (optional): perfect throttle during flare phase (just before landing) changes with aircrafts mass. Now you can adjust throttle on flare by putting into kayboard on the left side a correction value. Set 5 for aircraft with full fuel tanks and up to -5 for empty aircraft, especially when runway is short. You can ignore this option but it can allow the airplane perform perfectly smooth landing

Ask here if something is unclear or simply doesn't work as intended :)

Hi, I'm one of the subscribers to this particular aircraft, which is really interesting and cool. But I'm not sure where these two buttons are.

Hi! I send you link here with the Approach Data Helper (button):

And Flare Correction (keypad):

If they are still not there check if you have updated version.
If you need any further help with anything that may be not clear do not hesitate to write here, it will work as FAQ.
Thanks :D
