Back in the earlier baby persistent universe days my favorite rookie past time was crashing into the side of Port Olisar on accident. How many times have you experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" of your ship while attempting to learn how to fly?

[osuave]

Thanks! This will defensively improve my landing skills.

[freerange]

As a new player that was the best explanation I've seen for a flying tutorial, Thank you!

[Knort]

Pretty useful for newbies coming for this 2 freeflight weeks!

[davidhubbard]

A bit of a vet here, but watched the video anyways. Excellent Job. I've never tried the F4 * before, so I'll be trying that next time I play...

[kingslaphappy]

About to try this for the first time, thank you!

[PhillipLemmon]

Quick tip...call ATC while in the elevator that way when you get in you ship....its already open.

[dantelossantos]

i played the free flyght yesteday and today, this tutorial will be really usefull to stop destrying the 600i than i crush several times in the hangar this days :)

[nsk]

Very helpful, thanks! At the 7:20 mark, you effortlessly rotated the ship 180 degrees to face out of the hanger, but I did not see the marker in the middle of the HUD move. How did you do that maneuver so easily?

[phonixasz]

Great, coming from the flight sim world I expected some useful manuals, nada, this is invaluable for a total newbie!

[Kentworlds]

My first day on Star citizen took me 3 restarts to get out of my room then i crashed and burned my ship in the hanger like a ping pong ball so i came here for tips, Great advice i`m gonna go back and see if i can actually fly out the hanger now and earn my wings thanks.

[ShadowDragon]

I need help with space to ground landing. Like at a small planet outpost. Is there any guides for that?

[Kentworlds]

Need some help i know how to take off, on delivery missions i struggled and found my self running low on fuel i fly to the nearest planet to give given warning signs. My question is how do we land? I looked for request on F11 but didnt see any.

[ARealPain]

I'm still having issues taking off. I tap the space bar and it wont lift. Also can't adjust the speed limiter.

[Kentworlds]

Also struggling on how to deliver packages i go to the planet but i see its next to it so i cant get there, i tried jumping to another planet and back again but cant target it

[jakethewolfproductions]

Am I missing something. I keep hitting space but my ship isn’t lifting off the ground

[TairnKA]

When I started playing (v2.5 - v2.6?) I could manually (autoland didn't work consistently) land and launch "any" ship, in first person, first try, like a Boss.
That was until some major updates to the flight engine, though I'm not up to the "Boss" level, by not to use third person, I'm doing good. ;-)
Remember; the game spawns the ship, centered on the pad so there's no need for extra movements.
