The basics covered in this document may seem obvious to some of us now, but think back to when you started flight sim and didn’t know how to fly none other than direct GPS everywhere! Remember, everyone starts somewhere!

Special thanks to Adam Hillier and Mike Higgins for putting this document together.

We hope you find this a useful resource.
