    Hi, I am new to the Microsoft Flight Simulator. I am playing on a Windows 10 computer. I bought the Osprey + Amphibious Ready Group Bundle from the Marketplace yesterday.

    How do I map keyboard keys to move the nacelles up and down, please?

    Also, how do I set Flight Reality to Easy on the CDU, please?

    Also, on the description, it says that the Amphibious Ready Group has five ships but only two ships spawn when I go to the locations e.g. AG01, AG14, etc. How do I get the other ships to spawn, please?

    Thank you ever so much.

    1. This information is available on the Aircraft manual. It is very important to read the manual for this aircraft, as its by far not a conventional one.

      1. Nacelles are operated by mapping "INCREASE COWL FLAP 4" and "DECREASE COWL FLAP 4" respectively. Map two keys on your keyboard, joystick or controller to these. Go to your MSFS controller settings, select your controller (keyboard/joystick) search for COWL FLAP 4 and map them by pressing the key you wish to use. Here's a tutorial on how to map keys: https://youtu.be/2EfFFuVpBNA

      2. Go to your CDU (center screen in between seats), press the CDU button. Click on "ACFT INIT" button. Navigate to MENU 3. Select flight reality to "EASY". This must be done every time you use the aircraft, as the settings are not saved.

      3. Only USS America is spawnable using ICAO codes. The other ships are identifiable in the map as POIs, and located around USS America.

      Search for any USS America location by ICAO. Then, visually search for Points of Interest around the area in the map. Hovering on the POIs will tell you which ship is where.

      You can also search by name of the ship on the searchbar on the top left corner of the map.

      Let us know if you have any other questions
