So I'm going to be a bit of a pain in the a*s asking a few silly questions... I used to use flight sims some years ago and now I'm back with this beautiful sim you've created, but there're a couple of things that maybe you could help me with...
I'm mostly using the autopilot right now. I watched a nice video about using route manager with the map and the fixes and I've achieved a few flights so far, but I have some basic questions... What's the normal cruise speed - altitude? When should I start descending and preparing for landing? Because many times I start descending with the autopilot when I'm too close to the airport, and the result is just not right
Last question is probably more difficult... how do I calculate the fuel? I know that depends on a lot of things and probably I should know maths or so to do it, so you don't even need to worry about that question.

So if you're cruising at 37,000 feet, it would be 37 * 3 = 111nm. But, again, this can change depending on what aircraft you're flying.
