Judging from my poor efforts, and frequent excursions with the ground, I now know why I leave the driving to the professionals. :}

Usual way, pulling back on the stick does it for me. Or whatever your keyboard alternative is (down arrow), or if you have already left-clicked on the scene your cursor will now be a +. Pull back on your mouse.

Compass, ASI and altimeter on the HUD. To toggle the HUD hit "H". Currently I am terrain hugging at Mach 1 point something west of Cairns heading south.
I can do this 'cos I am retired and there is bugga all on telly.

Not sure if I should move this to Private Flying, Non Airline Transport Stuff, or Tech Log!
Maybe I'd better leave it here!
