Typical power settings during cruise and other phases of flight

Steve,

OOPS! WOT is harder on the engine.


Care to give us any kind of proof or evidence for that?

Is it normal to have throttles set to the maximum during cruise, in
small aircraft?

You really should take a few of the lessons that come with FS2004. This
question is answered there.

The lessons are in French, and I can't stand listening to them.

If you hate it so much, why don't you just get a relative in the US to
buy the game from Amazon and mail it to you?

A couple of mistranslations here and there shouldn't be such an
obstacle, however.

I've considered that, but it's hard to find anyone who would go to the
expense and trouble. Amazon won't mail it to me themselves (they
won't export software), and I don't have a credit card to pay for it,
anyway. Someone at the computer store swore to me that the latest
version of MSFS had a multilingual installation, but as usual, the
person at the computer store was wrong, so I'm still stuck with a
French version (which is very badly translated).

obstacle, however.

It's hard to even look up information on MSFS when there are
references to things like menus in English and I have no idea how
those menus were (mis)translated into French.

In general, I hate to buy any software in any language other than the
original language of the developers. For anything from Microsoft,
that means English. Besides, French aviation is 30 years behind
American aviation, and I wouldn't want to learn "French exceptions"
that I'd have to unlearn to fly in the US.

Huh?
What do you mean with that?

-Kees.

Mxsmanic,

So why do you live in a country whose language you despise?

That's not what I said.
