OneTinSoldier Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 So I'm sure this has been addressed before, but since there's no search function I'll never know... I could just be doing something wrong, but I've attempted for hours and several different ways to complete the flight school, but I can't get passed the turning tutorial... I can't even get to the first corona. I'll take off pretty smoothly but as soon as I'm about 3/4 of the way there, my engine starts to kick out and I descend helplessly. I've tried using the mouse to fly, gently pushing down, etc to have a nice even ascent, but the engine ALWAYS kicks out.. what am I doing wrong? Thank you so very much for helping me through this frustrating son of a bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaka Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Sounds like you forgot to retract the under-carriage (wheels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdescobar Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 So I'm sure this has been addressed before, but since there's no search function I'll never know... Left Navigation Bar, Forum Tools section, "Search." I could just be doing something wrong, but I've attempted for hours and several different ways to complete the flight school, but I can't get passed the turning tutorial...

If Plaka's advice of retracting the landing gear doesn't help, you might want to check out the Flight school FAQ for PC gamers which was the result of a search for "+flight +school +stall" using that non-existent Search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTinSoldier Posted September 19, 2005 Author Share Posted September 19, 2005 Thank you both! As soon as I posted this, I found the flight school pin, read about retracting landing gear, and smacked myself in the forehead for forgetting.. You see I took a few days break between the landing lesson and this lesson, so it never occurred to me. I was just frustrated, and used to Infopop boards, so I failed to notice the search function in my angered state. Again, thank you for the help. Cheers.

GritSandWiches4Breakfest Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 This is exactly what happened to me when I was on that mission. I couldn't even get to the first one. Finally, after about 20 tries I relieased I forgot to lower the landing gear. Note: You should edit your post. This site doesn't have much patiences for any cursing. Good luck!
