Let me describe a few tips on getting started that frustrated me a little bit. I am still a noob at this game but I want to share a few tips.
1. by default the AI (computer) operates every station. You will need to manually (M) override every time you switch stations.
2. In the taxiing mission (mission 1) there is a typo in the solution, it forgets to tell you release the brakes. If you don't do that the plane will not turn when you press B or N. Very confusing.
3. Make sure your joystick is hooked before you start the game for the first time. Otherwise the settings may be wrong. You will need to remove the B17.opts file and start the game again with the joystick hooked up properly.
