Why am I so bad at online multiplayer?

Have you reduced elevator sensitivity to the point where you can pull the stick the maximum without stalling? That can really give you an edge if the other guy is turning gently to avoid stalls. Just remember to turn it back up if you join an arcade game lol.

Also, I like to hard brake into a turn and full throttle out. I'm sure some of the guys on here who know a hell of a lot more about flying than me will tell me thats a bad idea, but I find it's the closest thing to a handbrake turn a plane can do.

Throttle out of a turn seems counter-intuitive, but it makes your wings apply lift - lifting you round rather than up.

I know sometimes you don't have a choice, but a 1v1 is a lot harder then when there's multiple targets. It's easier to sneak up on someone who's trying to kill someone else >:]
