A full flight is when you take off from one airport, and land at another. This is vital for Infinite Flight multiplayer. This tutorial is designed for multiplayer help, but can also be used for single player. Most information here is relevant for jets.
Pre-Flight
Decide your destination airport. Make sure it is a suitable airport; you have enough standing to go there, and it is big enough for your aircraft. Then, create a flight plan to that airport.
Flight plan tutorial: http://www.infiniteflight.tk/p/flight-planning.html
Taxi
Now you are ready to taxi. Inform ATC unicom. In your settings, make sure you have auto tiller off (turn on the ground by tilting your device. This is not recommended) . Set flaps to 10-15. (depending on aircraft type) Then pushback, using the rudder to steer. Try to follow the taxi lines, and taxi to and hold short of your takeoff runway. If you don't know what runway it is, go to your map and zoom in to see the runway number.

Hello. You give a really nice tutorial. I just wanna share my infinite flight experience with you guys. I not as great as you guys. I love Infinite flight but I quite bad in controlling the plane using the ``manual yoke" . That's why I prefer auto pilot rather than the manual.Starting from take off to landing , I just controlling the plane using a/p. FYI I only use manual control only during taxiing and executing a go around (I only control the HDG , the rest of control I leave it to A/P). When I use a/p, my journey seem so smooth and give a better aproach during descent and aligning with the runway during landing.So, I what do you think of me?? Am I just a noobies who try playing IF?? Or is it normal ?? Does everyone did this?? ~~~~~ Thanks.

DeleteThere are 3 modes of sensitivity: low, medium and high. All these controls are hard to manage during manual flights. I suggest there would have been a long bar as we could set it according to our taste. There is not even a second of grace time available between two actions!

DeleteI suggest playing with a tablet device with medium sensitivy.
DeleteI think at some point in IF we have all used A/P a lot. Once you get really into it, and you have been playing it for a while, you get used to not using A/P for approaches and stuff. So yes, I would say that it is perfectly normal to use A/P for everything, and no, you are not a noob.
DeleteThats pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI suggest practising manual flying, as its very important and useful, especially for multiplayer. Nowadays, I fly a lot on manual.
Could you tell me about trim please? You mention it a lot but I have never used it before.
ReplyDeleteYes sure.
DeleteSay I have 10% trim: this means that my "neutral" yoke position is now fixed to 10% pulled up. If I have -20% trim, this means my neutral yoke position is fixed to 20% pushed forwards. In other words, trim helps you to pull up or push forward.
I guess during landing and last moments???
DeleteI guess during landing and last moments???
DeleteHi Michael , I have a question about the B747 and A380 and also the B777 . Why in real life the A380 can fly at FL410 whereas the A380 can't fly at FL410 in IF it can but the nose pitches up 5 degree which isn't normal any ideas ?
ReplyDeleteThanks !!
Just sharing my opinion. Maybe your cruising speed are slow relatively to the altitude. Have you try to extend the flaps??
DeleteYes what hard vendetta said.
DeleteOn top of your minimap will display a speed in relation to Mach. Make sure it is at least at M0.8 to cruise at FL410
Yes I have mach 0.85 but sometimes is almost impossible for me to get up there how can a real A380 climb so high even when so heavy ??
DeleteInfinite flight physics isnt that realistic.

ReplyDeleteThank you for these guides.
ReplyDeleteDoes any know where I can see fully labelled HUD and other "pages"?
e.g. In the map, what do you call those ILS slim triangles that extend from the ends of runways? Why are some of these ILS triangles grey and some red?
Why are some airport icons blue and some purple?
What is the little circle that sometimes appears on the compass edge?
Why is it that horizontal ILS and vertical ILS are now separately indicated?
I see some old screenshots show the ILS lines as a cross over the compass, is there an option for ILS style?
Sorry.. more questions:
ReplyDeleteWhen following a flight plan with A/P on, am I supposed to adjust the HDG target as I get prompted? Or is there a A/P mode where it automatically follows all the waypoints?
Question: How do i stay on the waypoints that i set cause i keep overshooting when i turn?
ReplyDeleteYour waypoints are too steep or you are turning too late
DeleteAhh ok thx:)
Deletei have doubt
ReplyDeleteautopilot and auto throttle functions independently or they are connected with each other
if i disengage autopilot will auto throttle function or it will also disengage itself??
On take off for commercial jets , what should the flaps be set on?
ReplyDelete15.
Delete15.
DeleteQ: When it says: Next Waypoint [Example WATAP, Or RPTO] Turn HDg *123" when do you turn? I always end up too far from the pink line.
ReplyDeleteWhen it says turn *123*, turn to that heading immediately. If your waypoint turn is steep, you may need t turn earlier.
Delete500-700 FPM on touch down is fast. 200-300 is the range you should aim for. Anything over 600 could cause structural damage. At 1200 FPM, catastrophic structural failure (i.e. Wings snap off) occurs. Pilots of FEDEX 80 landed at 1200 FPM, and in case you haven't seen it, this happens: https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLWXmdkqhrbkYLj6rstw72lPpukR1aF97A&v=VaeXAp8UQSw .
