[0]
0=Check flight controls. I suggest for added realism that you turn your auto-coordination off and set your control sensitivity for elevator and ailerons at about 50%.
1=Release brakes (Period [.]).
2=Adjust fuel mixture (Ctrl shift F2 or F3) for best power setting.
3=Smoothly increase throttle to full power (F3). At about 60 knots, ease back on the stick & relax the back pressure.
4=Adjust pitch attitude to climb at 100-110 knots or 1,300 fpm. Retract landing gear(G).


[1]
0=Establish level flight.
1=Set throttle at about 23 in. manifold pressure to about 50% (F2 or F3) and prop at 2100-2400 RPM (CTRL+F2 or CTRL+F3).
2=Adjust fuel mixture (Ctrl shift F2 or F3) to best power setting for present altitude.
3=Adjust elevator trim (NUMPAD 7 = nose down, NUMPAD 1 = nose up).
4=Break out the coffee and donuts. (Just checking to see if you're paying attention.)

[2]
0=Select a suitable landing location and contact the tower.
1=Reduce power to about 15 in. of manifold pressure (F2).
2=Relax pressure on the controls and the airplane will descend.
3=To level off, increase power to original cruise setting (F3).

[3]
0=Set throttle at 15 in. of manifold pressure.
1=Check landing gear down (G).
2=At airspeed less than 110 kts, set flaps to 10 deg. or more (F7).
3=Adjust pitch attitude to maintain 65-75 knots.
4=Adjust throttle to maintain descent rate.
5=Over runway, establish slight nose-up attitude. Set throttle to idle.
6=Land at 50 kts.
