In Windows:

......Start > Settings > Control Panel > Game Controllers > Properties.....

Check for correct operation, and apply the settings.

It's not an error. The "A." stands for Alpha, or angle-of-attack. It means that your airspeed is too slow for that given angle-of-attack, and the aircraft's computer is applying

...sorry rt.... :'(....!

My speciality is General Aviation, and Piston Prop Aircraft.... ;)...!

...over to someone else who is more familiar with "Tubes"..... ::).... ;)....!

P.S. Have you practised, and perfected all your lessons in the Cessna 172 Trainer Aircraft so far?

Edit: Deep Space may have answered your query... ;)...!

Hi. Start by going to the lessons part in the sim, practice a lot in the Cessna as Fozzer mentioned, and check out the Flight School section here.  Good Luck.

For anyone who is a newcomer to Flight Simulation, it is highly recommended to spend many hours in one of the Trainer aircraft, (Cessna 152/172 for example), perfecting all their flying and navigation skills, before progressing on to more complex Aircraft eg; Retractable Gear types, Constant Speed Propeller types, Twin Propeller Aircraft, Turbo-Props, etc....finally leading up to Commercial Passenger Jet Aircraft!

Helicopter training requires a separate suite of lessons.

So much more satisfaction is obtained by perfecting your skills on each individual type of Aircraft, stage by stage... :)...!

Carefully study the "Aircraft Owners Handbook" relating to each Aircraft before you fly.

These are "Words of Wisdom" - thank you Sir!

Now, after jumping around like a maniac for 7 months, tweaking, adjusting, installing, un-installing, and countless other strange activities which have absolutely nothing to do with FLYING, I'm actually thinking about doing what is told here!

Will I get bored maybe, am I a tweaker instead of a simmer? :'(

..there you go Chums... ;)...!

After many hours of practice....
.....its amazing just how much satisfaction can be gleaned from finally achieving a perfect take-off, cruise, navigation by means of the Map and Compass and Stop Watch, inter spaced by accurate Radio Navigation between Radio Beacons, and finally making a perfect landing at your destination Airfield/Airstrip with a big thumbs-up from your Instructor as he hands you your Private Pilots Licence....

...in a small, General Aviation, Piston Prop..... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

That's the way to go.... ;)... ;)...!
