The engine controls are accurately tuned so dont forget to use normal procedure to increase blade pitch as you accelerate and also as you gain altitude. Normally prop blade angle is set at minimum pitch (blue lever all the way up) for takeoff and landing to provide maximum power. During cruise and at higher altitudes the blade pitch is increased to the best angle for most efficient cruise. You can turn on inflight data output to see very detailed information and help understand the relationship of different engine settings.

X-planes default 4 foot wave height is too high for operations of this type of plane, i recommend setting it to 1 foot. The settings for water are in the tab behind weather.

This airplane has a 3D cockpit optional version, as opposed to a 2D panel. 3D cockpit mode is enabled by pressing ctrl and letter o. The view direcion can be set to be controlled by either mouse, joystick hat switch, or trackball controller. I recommend setting a trackball controller for view direction which frees the mouse to click on the various switches and levers in the cockpit. I recommend setting field of view at about 60 or 70 degrees instead of the default 45 degrees. Field of view is in settings>rendering options. It also helps the feeling of realism a lot to get used to using + and - keys to zoom up to things in the cockpit and outside the windows. As you may know, many keys and controls can be set to be activated by buttons on the control stick, including controlling view direction by joystick hat switch. After getting used to 3D cockpit flight it becomes very second nature and is a great realistic flying experience.

Please be aware that there is an optional 3D cockpit option included, if you are not familiar with 3D cockpits please read the following or you might miss out on a lot of fun. I highly recommend getting accustomed to the 3D cockpit flying, in my opinion it has great advantages in flight realism.
