Hi,
I am an avid flight simulator player and I never know how fast or slow to land the planes, or when to start slowing down and extend flaps and landing gear to be ready for landing Embarassed

Can anyone help in finding aircraft data that describes to me what I am looking for?

Thanks in advance,
Landing enthusiast

Well, if it's a default Fs9 aircraft, you'll find all the info you need on the kneeboard, just click the icon on the main panel, or I believe you can press F10 to make it appear?

You'll see some info, and just keep swapping through untill you find the speed charts.

Hope it helps! 😀

No meaning to be rude to one of my masters (this is FEM Bow Down )but I think that if we press F10 we will extend the flaps Embarassed
A good way to open the kneeboard if we dont have the button in our panel, is to hit Alt/Aircraft/Kneeboard 😉

I much as I hate to say it 😉 , FEM is right. F10 is the default key for the kneeboard.

Well the wrong was mine Embarassed .
Lets clean up the things.
If you have enable the FLock command,the kneeboard appears by F10 and the flaps are extended with F5,6,7,8,as FEM and you Jon very correct notice.

In my case while im using Grapclisave for capturing my screen i use PrintScreen (PrtScn) key which means that i have to have FLock diasbled.
In this case if i press F10 i extend my flaps.

Sorry for the confusion i create. Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed
