On the tablet under one of the tabs there is a rest parachute button that you can click and it will close the door and reset the parachute.
Anyone knows if icing is a part of this plane? Any visuels or dropping from the sky if anti ice and so forth aint used?
It seems that similar to some other addon aircraft the crash damage is turned off regardless of your personal setting in the sim. Anyone know the reason for this? I donāt think aircraft should be allowed to override this setting.

The GKS F-111 seems to do that. 8 launched it off a carrier and it fell into the ocean. It tumbled and sat on top of the water. I have damage on.
Anyone knows how the auto throttle works?
Very simpleā¦ you activate it and it keeps the current IAS.
Fantastic, thanks!

I seem to have just got āluckyā where i crashed last time as all further crashes ended the game as expected.
My problem now though is pitch. On takeoff the aircraft climbs naturally and even with pushing the stick forward and holding it there it wonāt descend. It doesnāt climb as strongly if i throttle back a lot but it still climbs. The aircraft will roll left and right fairly nimbly but when it comes to pitch is most unresponsive. Eventually i seem to pass some threshold and it starts to dive. Itās a big sudden change in behaviour.
Is it broken or an i doing something wrong? Is it a centre of gravity issue?
Of the three options you put at the end, itās the middle one!
Itās discussed further upthread, but in a nutshell the nose has a tendency to rise during the takeoff run, so you keep forward pressure on the stick until Vr. After takeoff, you will be trimming forwards as speed increases. If the trim cannot keep up (particularly at lighter weights) you need to back off the power.
The max down angle of the elevons is less than half the up angle (12.5 / 27.5 from memory).
Negative G limit is 0. You do not push in a Vulcan!

Definitely not broken but i was facing a similar thing on my first couple of take off/climbs but it soon clicked and backing off the power and staying ahead of the aircraft and its all good, as @GrimPhoenix9349 says it is lively on take off so the trim and backing off the power
Iāve also noticed at 10000ft the Vulcan has a poor roll rate at speeds in excess of 300kn but below this the roll rate improves and is good at slower speeds.
Talking about forward pitch are you saying you should not use forward pitch at all because it does forward pitch so long as you donāt over do it at slower speeds.
No, just that the limit is zero g and that the description from multiple Vulcan pilots is that pushing is something you would not be comfortable doing.
Reduce throttle, air brakes, bleed off some speed and let the nose drop. What about landing !!
Throttles back, allow speed to reduce but donāt let the nose drop - trim for level flight. In the circuit, gear down and 62%rpm (weight dependant) followed by mid airbrakes on the approach and full airbrakes over the threshold. All Vulcan landings were done with airbrake as standard.
I donāt have this yet but another thing that the Vulcan did on landing was to hold the nose up as long as possible to use the big wing area as an airbrake to help slow it down. Iām not sure when the drag chute was deployed though.

I think this is supposed to be deployed below 135 kts from what I recall. Donāt know what the RW practice was though.
One more question about -G or pitch forward. When Iām landing and Iām a little bit high on the glide slope doing 150kts the natural action is a little bit of forward pitch but is this ok with the Vulcan or would I trim and reduce power to correct my glide slope. Can I pitch forward so long as I donāt go into -G when landing 
Yes, small adjustments are fine as long as you stay above zero g!
