"DIXON GILLETTE: Welcome back to Expert Village, my name is Dixon Gillette and let's continue our tutorial on Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The more difficult maneuvers to perform in an aircraft is actually maintaining straight and level flight. Now in order to get yourself established right from the get-go, it's important to learn how to use a very small, smooth control inputs whether you're using a mouse or a joystick. Pilots want to tend to overcorrect a lot, which will end up giving your aircraft severe oscillations. So just keep in mind the smaller, more correct smooth movements will yield you greater accuracy and results when you're pilot--considered to be the golden rule amongst pilots, pitch plus power equals performance is simply obtained by holding a constant airspeed and a constant pitch attitude. This will yield you either a constant straight level flight or will yield a constant descend or ascend in your aircraft."
