Just go ahead!
Im very much into all that flying stuff and all i can say: Get an TrackIR and learn your lessons on the solo-player stuff as long as it takes (there is not much right now but concentrate on the basics theres enough to learn)! Enjoy the flying, get some shoot downs! There`s loads of tutorials in this forum for the basic and may be that we meet some day face to face, or maybe in a coop later on!
Btw, you read in every forum loads of negativ stuff, but it`s up to you to make YOUR decision into playing what ya like or what the others `re playin! Negativ remarks `re very selective especially in forums!
Hope to see everyone soon!
Greetz, Rince!
