==Aircraft Help==


== FlightGear Controls ==
=== Start Procedure (Fast)===
* Go to Equipment > Fuel and Payload and set your fuel amounts and make sure your tanks are selected
* Right-click twice to get into the move view mode and look at the overhead panel then click all the electrical buttons until they are all lit up
* Hold the 's' button for 10 seconds or until the engines are running at idle.


=== Start Procedure (Extended Version) ===
'''0. remember to'''<br>
''a) set the correct QNH (pressure) when below transition level<br>
b) set the fuel to a proper level in each tank (so you dont mess with the sliders when airborne)<br>
c) you can use ctrl+c to reveal all usable buttons and knobs''<br>
'''1. prepare systems'''<br>
a) turn on the battery, taxi lights and panel lights if you need it (button is placed)
to tle left, left from the BCN light button.<br>
b) turn the APU knob clockwise (the knob next to the APU GEN), wait 1min for it to start-up<br>
b1) set APU knob to the middle position<br>
c) turn on all 4 hydraulic pumps/valves. 2 in the center are for the flaps and spoilers (both<br>
pumps MUST be enabled), the same with the other two, they are for landing gear. the
buttons are between electrical and fuel part of the panel.
'''2. prepare engines'''<br>
a) start fuel pumps. there are 6: 2 for each tank. to enable fuel flow from a tank, you have
to enable BOTH (just like with the hydraulics) pumps.<br>
b) enable the engine starters (you can turn on both one after another, but thats not really realistic)<br>
c) after N1 reach ~45, engine should be running on its own, self sustaining, fuel cutoff valves open
automatically. eicas shows up a message that L(R) ENG STARTER is on.<br>
d) turn on both engine generators<br>
e), turn off APU (knob position 1) and BAT<br>
=== Fuel Controls===
====Jettisonning fuel====
a) just press the JETTISON ARM button, its hidden behind some knob in the right part of the OH panel,
go to 0. a) if you cant find it<br>
b) monitor the fuel levels, press the button again to stop the process. (jettisonning will automatically
stop when theres ~1000 gallons in each tank)<br>
c) fuel flow is 30 gallons per second.<br>
====Crossfeed====
a) enable FWD xfeed pump and AFTER IT enable AFT pump. if you mess this, it wont work and you will have
to repeat.<br>
b) watch the fuel indicators on the eicas as the fuel level gets equalized in both tanks, left and right.<br>
c) fuel flow is set to 4 gallons per second.<br>
===Autopilot===
====Bank Angle====
a) position 0 activates the automatic bank limiter (limit based on airspeed)<br>
b) any other position sets a constant bank limit, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25<br>
c) for speeds below V2+15 use 15 degree bank limit<br>
===Tiller===
'''Important notice:''' as of FlightGear 2.4.0, the 777 has tiller steering, just like the real aircraft where the pedals only turn the nose wheel by a few degrees - to achieve optimal precision during takeoffs and landings. Use the tiller (777-200ER > Tiller Steering) dialog to steer during taxiing.

* You can also connect a separate joystick axis to the tiller control - just like in the real aircraft, where there is a separate control wheel.
