Pop Out Windows To Put Them on A Second                             Movie Of The Month
        Monitor
        There are a ton of windows when you’re flying.
        Between tower communications, the radar map,
        camera settings, and much more, it’s easy to overload
        your main window with information. Luckily all of
        those windows can be popped out and dragged onto
        another screen!
        Fauna Shortcuts
        For folks who are more interested in seeing giraffes,
        elephants, black bears, or any other animals during
        their flights there’s actually an easy trick to do so.
        When on the world map, just navigate over to the
        search bar and type in “Fauna.” A list will pop up
        complete with a bunch of available options!

        Turn On/Off Assisted Yoke Piloting Assistance
        Depending on how much experience you have in
        flight simulators, you will either want to turn assisted
        yoke piloting on or off. This is basically steering
        assistance, making your controls less sensitive. As an

        incredibly inexperienced player it helped a lot when it
        came to maintaining an angle of attack for increasing
        altitude. Without it my movements were too jerky to
        reliably do so.                                                       Letters to the Editor
