How can plane fly with out fuel.
I ran out of fuel and kept flying - how's that can be?

Is 'unlimited fuel' checked in the realism settings?

Don't expect your plane to drop out of the sky when you run out, you don't need fuel to generate lift
(I hope you already knew that  ;D)

planes can glide for a good 75 to 100 miles i believe or the bigger jets can i wouldnt expect a cessna to go that long though.

Surely this would depend on their altitude when the fuel ran out.

Some jet fighters have the gliding qualities of your average house brick.

Automixture allows the computer to adjust your fuel mixture to its optimum level during flight, as in the real world you have to adjust this for altitude etc....
Autorudder is an automatic rudder that compensates in turns for you (not v.well), personally I prefer to have full rudder control.

Ozzy

Autorudder is for those using a standard joystick without a separate rudder control. It links the rudder with the ailerons. This coordinates turns in the air & also enables you to steer on the ground using the aileron joystick axis.

Ok, another question.
What Autogen Density, Scenery Complexity and Dynamic Scenery do , do they have to be extremly dence?  for better realism and grafics

Depends on your system's capabilities.  Those are some of the settings to toy with in order to maximize performance on your system.

what are they for

I found this in FS2002 Help.
