I just watched your newest video (I think); that was beautiful. That's what I imagined when I finally bought a joystick and this sim. Great channel; thanks. If you ever have the time I would very much enjoy a quick walk-through of one of your videos (e.g., "at this point I wanted to make a slow turn for reason x, so I did such-and-such with the radiator and flaps..."); no pressure, though, as I understand it'sa bit of trouble.

Besides getting ideas from books and others

Recommendations in this area (from anyone) are appreciated, definitely. I hear tell of maneuvers like "flying scissors" and others, but I have no idea what they are! I've got a PDF called In Pursuit that I've heard is good, though.
