If you look at any plane on the groud its wings will be drooping down with enough weight, ie. fuel, inside them. As the plane gets faster on the take off roll the wings, producing lift as they’re designed to do, will lift before the rest of the plane. Looks like they take off on their own. This is natural but just seems unreal on larger types.
I’ve seen B52’s in action and the flex on the 747 or the A380 is nothing compared to it.

Try this site. http://www.avsim.com/projectairbus/ Other than that try a normal search for FS2002 on http://www.avsim.com.

I can’t help you here Matt.
A friend of mine has 2002 aswell and he wanted the iFDG MD-11 in Aer Lingus colours but didn’t have broadband so I got for him. Unfortunately I couldn’t load for him as I couldn’t get to his main aircraft file.
I am now thinking 2002 installes differently to 2004 somehow so don’t know what to do to help him or yourself. Hopefully somebody with more knoledge of 2002 can help you and my friend.

I cant help you with the throttle problem Matt, Im on FS2004, but it sounds likeyour throttles aren’t in sinc somehow. Hopefully someone else on 2002 can sort that for you.
The good news is I can help with your other questions.
Real liveries and planes can be downloaded for free at Avsim.com .
You can take pictures by using the PrintScreen button on the top right of your keyboard. You have to then go to your Paint program, or similar, and edit the pic to size, normally jpg or jpeg for better quality.
Only problem with this is you have to edit and save every pic before taking another one. But you can overcome this by downloading a program at Avsim called FSScreen. Go to the search area and type in fsscreen.zip and you’ll get it.
Hope this helps, welcome to the sky and happy and safe flying.
