Hi guys, i'm new playing FS2002. (Sorry if my English is not good enough). :) I want to ask a view question
1.) How to tune ATIS? (When I play, ATC asked me to Tune ATIS to 2992)

2.) How to reduce fuel in B-737 in FS2002 and in any jet plane?

3.)The ATC asked me to choose taxi way, ho to do a taxi way? is just put number in heading display or how??

Thank's anyway about this forum, :)

Hi latitude and welcome to the forum. :)

Simple answers:

1) When ATC instructs you to tune to ATIS, press the number by the answers you can give that says tune to Atis.

e.g.

1) Tune to Tower.
2) Tune to Atis    <---- Press number 2 on your keyboard.


2) Open the menu bar (press Alt to display it if you're in full screen mode) - select the "Aircraft" menu and then "Fuel". - Adjust how much you want in the tanks in there.


3) After acknowledging the taxi instructions you'll see an option for Requesting progressive taxi (usually option 3). Press the number that matches the responses in the same way as tuning to ATIS and a purple line will appear which you follow to where you're going.

Hi Latitude, I'm a little confused over your questions but I'll try to answer as best I can.

To tune to ATIS you need to open the radio stack and enter the ATIS freqency in the COMM radio. If you mean how do you set the altimeter to 29.92 you can either click the knob on the altimeter gauge or press the B key which will set your gauge to current pressure wherever you are.

To reduce fuel in any aircraft go the aircraft menu, select Fuel and put the required fuel percentage in the boxes. Each box represents a fuel tank.

If the ATC instructs you to use a specific taxi way the only certain way of getting the right one is to ask for taxi instructions. The ATC will then draw a big friendly pink line on the ground for you to follow. If you aren't told which one to use you can go whereever you like.

Enjoy!

Ian
