Install the F6F-5 Hellcat to your FSX \SimObjects\Airplanes folder of FS2004 or FS2002 \aircraft folder. If you haven't already done so, follow the instructions on our installation page. Press the 'S' key to see the 2D cockpit; press the 'S' key again to see the 3D cockpit and twice more to see the helicopter from the spot plane view. Here's a quick walk around: Press 'E' to start the engine. Press the stick forward and back to see elevators move upand down. Shift + 'E' to open and close the canopy. Ctrl+Shift+'V' to open the engine cowling Ctrl+Shift+'C' to close the engine cowling 'I' to fire the guns (visual only - Flight Simulator does not support weapon damage) In the 3D cockpit view you'll see the stick and pedals move.

Takeoff Taxi out to the runway. For land-based takeoff, give full throttle. Upon reaching 70 knots, push forward on the stick slightly to raise the tail off the runway surface. When your speed reaches 90 knots, pull back on the stick gently to liftoff. When abeam the end of the runway, retract the landing gear ('G') and you're off the your mission altitude.

Landing With land-based approach, speed is about 100 knots with full flaps Over the numbers you can cut the throttle; stall speed is 85 knots. Set down on main gear. As speed bleeds off, the tail will settle onto the runway.
