I translate User Guide and Tutorial. In Tutorial 1 it said that cargo flights will have their own tutorial. When I will be able to download it?

As soon as I can find some spare time to write one. That's become a rare commodity of late. But knowing that at least one Captain is waiting may spur me on.... The last I recall, I was waffling between a 747 flight and one in a Cessna 208. (I'd like to keep the choices to default aircraft so anyone could follow along.)

As a general note, cargo flights are almost identical to passenger ones, only there are fewer things to worry about. It'll be good to have the tutorial, but I would encourage anyone to just book and fly a cargo flight and you'll see it works the same. You just don't have to worry about things like alerting the FAs or PAX service. On the other hand, you won't have any PAX to compliment you on your fine flying and bump up your score.

George, Dutch is correct (of course! ). Cargo flights do not provide many bonus opportunities in respect of having PAX congratulate you on a "professional flight," but also you have less chance of missing points for having to alert a flight crew for takeoff / landing. In either respect, you'll have to set your lights and altimeter correctly, etc.... In any event, my plans for a "cargo tutorial" would go into having to follow a defined flight path instead of going directly from AAAA to BBBB. That would include factors such as upper level winds, crosswinds on landing, etc.
