:P

If you want another language, go to www.fsinsider.com.

There's an update somewhere there, which will change your language to English.

Descending is done by pulling back on the throttles, and the lowering the nose a bit.

To flare (landing with nose-up attitude) your speed must be low, so you can pull up your nose and still go down.

I highly recommend flying the tutorials, and maybe some of the lessons in the Learning Center, before trying anything else.

Well, buying a sim with a language that you cannot understand is not a really smart move :/
You are missing all the tutorials and flying lessons now, and they would have been very interesting for you.

However, here is a little advise concerning your problem: If you need to put the nose down to loose altitude, that means that you are going fast. Try to slow down, and you will notice that suddenly, even if you aircraft is still "horizontal", your altitude will start decreasing.

The danger is slowing down too much: if your plane has not enough speed anymore, it will stall: it will fall like a stone !

You must find the speed which allows you to fly the way you like: not too slow for not loosing control, and not too fast for not gaining altitude when the nose is up.

Also, in order to maintain control at low speed, you must extent the flaps of the plane (with F7 -step by step- or 8 for full flaps).

It's just a matter of training. You'll understand how it works quite fast.

I can't stress enough, stalling is due to excessive AoA, not low speed.

I know the two often cross over, but still.

Try learning to fly on a small, single engine aircraft first, and than slowly work your way up to bigger aircraft when you get the basics of flying, navigating, ect....

Also, check out the PPL lessons down in the flightschool board
