If you read the manual, it has some useful information. It helped me when I started.

I read the manual but need gate advice. I am in Denver and need gate advice of which gates to look for

I recommend doing shorter routes in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah so you can begin making a steady DOP. Try Grand Junction, Aspen, Cheyenne, and Santa Fe first. Then go from there.

Are there codes for these?

You just have to go into the US page, find them alphaebetically, and click OCP!

I got my gates. Do I put as many routes on them as possible?

Keep your flights as 1 frequency (there and back) and see how you get on, or else you will be competing against yourself

I have 1 flight on each gate. Should I add my flights?

Yup, keep renting gates and add routes untill your airplane runs out of hours. keep your gates close to DEN for now

Know your geography.

Not my strong suit?

I don't know geography around some areas of the world (as I'm from west London) but only know capital cities and everything else that you should know. I always use Google maps ( http://maps.google.co.uk/maps ) And find my way around there. I then go to The great circle mapper ( http://gc.kls2.com/ ) and then search my route, for eg DEN-ORD and see how far they are and compare it to a aircraft I have.

I hope to do well
