(This can only be done with the canopy open and engines off, press LAlt' to open the outfitting menu.) - RShiftL to turn the power on.
- LCtrlC to open or close the canopy, as needed.
- RShiftHome to start the engine.
(RShiftEnd stops the engine.) - Wait for the engine to spool up and stabilise.
- Num+/Num- controls the throttle; increase it carefully to get going and do not go too fast.
(W controls wheel brakes; be particularly careful when turning since doing it at high speed will make you tip over, scrape your wings, catch fire, explode and — worst of all — become the subject of innumerable screen shots.) - Use Z and X to control nosewheel steering (and also rudder) to make your way to the runway and line up.
- LShiftF lowers the flaps — they should be in the middle position for takeoff.
- Throttle up to max and try to stay in a straight line as you barrel down the runway.
- Pull back gently to take off.
- Raise landing gears with LCtrlG; raise flaps with LCtrlF.
