I am new and trying to get the hang of IF. (Right now it is easier to flying a real airplane) I am slowly learning new things but I am trying to speed this process up so that I can get a grip on what I am doing. Any advice, tips, or information anyone has that can help in any way is appreciated. Even if you think it is nothing, please mention it because I am still learning. Thank you.

Community ā¦ oh the community.
But yeah, hi! Iām PlanesForLife, and Iāve been on the community for 7 months already! There are people who have been here for about 1.5 years, and some (like you) who have just joined! But either way, youāll have a blast. Many people (like I will be shortly) are regulars, a privileged that you earn by being active!
Do not post in: #features, #live:va, #live:events
Until you are a member! (TL2)

Welcome to the community! Better yet, welcome to the sim itself. If you havenāt already, I highly recommend purchasing an Infinite Flight Live paid subscription. Itās totally worth the investment in my opinion. Feel free to private message me (when you reach the āBasic Userā community trust level and PMs are enabled for you) for assistance with ATC, flying, or even just to chat. :)

To look for advice and tips, check out Infinite Flight on YouTube! Thereās a lot of tutorials you should check out and theyāre explained by @Mark_Denton
and @Tyler_Shelton. Mark basically covers on how to fly an aircraft and what a pilot needs to know when flying, and Tyler covers on the basics of being an ATC, or Air Traffic Control. If you have any problems regarding Infinite Flight, just make a post about your problems under the #support category in the community.
There are many features of the simulator:
-Many aircrafts with realistic textures to fly in
-Fly online and interact with other pilots on Live.
-Real weather system (Live only)
-Air Traffic Control system (Live only)
-and much more!
So, welcome to the Infinite Flight Community, and we hope you enjoy your stay. Youāll do just fine :)

Once you gain a little bit of experience I would recommend that you join a Virtual Airline, it really improves your IF experience and you will part of a more active community.
Hereās a list of the active VAās

Welcome to the community. If you want to be a good pilot, learn the violations first, and avoid them at ALL COSTS!!
1: Do not taxi more than 35 KT Ground Speed. This is NOT the same as airspeed.
2: Do not exceed your planes Overspeed Limits.
3: Do not preform āacrobatic menuversā above airports.
4: Do not exceed 250 KT air speed below 10,000 feet.
To any of the other community members, feel free to correct me if I missed any. Iām writing this late at night.

Thank you everyone for all of that including the helpful hints and warm welcoming. Just an update: I did purchase the 30 day subscription and it looks like I will be purchasing the one year subscription eventually. I found out the hard way with the C17 and the violations but I kept them down and I should be fine. I did get to figure out a lot of the simulator from all of the help and the tutorials you guys/girls have presented before me. I tried out ATC (love the feature), different airplanes, and observed some of the operations at the airport before I jumped into flying. Again, thank you everyone for the help and quick responses!

Donāt worry about the violations. Everyone racks them up quite fast when they first start flying. If you ever plan to improve your ATC skills in IF, check out the awesome tutorials also on IF YouTube page. Happy flying!
