to let my nose gear touch down after my main gear make contact? I have FS2004 and am getting the new one and I'm not really sure how to do it properly.

before you run off the runway.

Steve H got it right. The reason for keeping the nose up for any extended period of time is to burn off more speed. If you have plenty of runway and your speed is not excessive, go ahead & ease the front gear down. It will give your passengers a better feeling to have the nose down. If you are still rolling fast, keep the nose up a little longer, but don’t hold it there too long or it will BANG down and can damage the front gear. If you need it up, use it. Otherwise, put it down.
Fly on & enjoy!

Count about 5 mississipis from the moment your main gear touches down then lower your nose :) good luck!

well in the real thing you dont really let the nose down.. the nose will settle because the airplane doesnt have enough airspeed to keep it up... so dont come in too fast then when your mains hit ... pull the throttle back and ease the stick back it will come down when its ready

any time after the mains is ok just bring it down smooth
unless you need to hold it up to slow your speed

It is just a game. Have fun, why worry about it? Fly a real airplane to find out!
