Ok, I will join your tourney, Edal, later after 2nd semester exams.  Any tips for me in the meantime?
Right now, I'm not getting anywhere as the better players are eating me alive. So I guess sensitivity does play a part in flying but does trim do anything?
EDIT: Oh yea, and Happy Belated Birthday, Edal!! |
trim does play a part in maneuovering but u shouldnt have to play w it too much - it helps in keeping a steady path depending on ur speed which is important to execute a good turn - and it will add or take away drag and lift - so basically reset ur trim it only when u need too make drastic speed changes from one move to another (like when executing a dive to distance ur opponent, reseting ur trim will give u a better acceleration, reducing drag and lift). Again dont use it too much cause ur plane will be a mess to control - just keep this on the back of ur mind and atticipate the speed and trim ull need on ur next move.
But the best advice was already given by the posters above: keep ur eyes on the opponent and watch ur speed. A perfecly executed reversal maneuver can get u on ur opponent'12 if u simply turned the wrong way or if ur goin too fast. Its a game of mistakes and the first one to capitalize on his opponents mistakes wins - to try n look out for them u must first b able to see the guy
