I don't know how to use ACARS. I see the apparatus in my plane but I don't know how to use it.

The icon you're seeing is probably the ServInfo gauge. Take a peek in the Fleet Library for the ACARS package.

Cheers!

Jared, I did an article with an overview of ACARS in the January 2006 Flight Academy newsletter. To check out the newsletter, go to the Pilot Center, Document Library and download them from there. You'll need adobe acrobat reader version 6 or higher to view them.
