Hi
I am relly new to FS 2004. I prefere to fly Boeing 737 800 NG. What is confusing is the flaps setting during take off some say one should use Flaps 5 some other say flap 15...does it matter and what is the prefered setting and why.

Welcome to simviation forums

It depends of How much weight do you have (PASSENGERS), If you have and empty airplane you can use 5% as it appears in the tutorial , this isn't and exact and unique position for taking off , you'd have to see the wind ,weight , length of the Runway, to move the lever flap in the right position before take off

THX!

Flap 15 is more uncommon, unless you have a short runway, heavy load, etc.  Airline I used to work for typically used either 1 flap or 5 flap.
