• Medium – Creates a medium size boundary.
• Large – Creates a large boundary.
Once you select a boundary size, you'll notice two blue lines, one on either side
of the runway. During takeoff, you must try to stay between these lines. As
your airplane gets close to the boundary markers, the colors will change as a
warning. If you get too close, they will turn red. Correct the flight path of your
airplane so that you are more centered on the runway.
Wind-
Not every day can be an ideal day to fly. Every pilot must learn how to takeoff
with different wind conditions. The Wind menu will allow you to adjust the
direction of the wind. When you select the Wind menu item, the following
options will appear.
• None – Turns the wind off to simulate a calm day.
• Crosswind Left – This will set the wind to blow from the left of the
aircraft.
• Crosswind Right – This will set the wind to blow from the right of the
aircraft.
• Upwind (Normal) – Upwind will set the wind to blow towards the nose of
the aircraft.
• Downwind (Dangerous) – This will create a tail wind, making it more
difficult to takeoff due to the decrease in airspeed.
Direction-
The Direction menu will allow you to change the direction in which you take
off. For an R/C pilot, you don't have the luxury of sitting in the airplane, so
you must learn how to control the airplane from any direction. Selecting the
Direction menu will show the following options.
• Left to Right – Take off from the left side of the runway, heading to the
right.
• Right to Left – Take off from the right end of the runway, heading to the
left.
Exit-
If you wish to leave the Takeoff Trainer and return to the simulation, select the
Exit menu item.
