Pick a plane and stick to it, learn it's strengths and you'll soon be downing the best of them!

i'll help realistic mode has been a pleasant suprise for me and, i'll volunteer my ass to be shot down so others can enjoy it as much as i've been.. but seriously guys i know from experience in realistic you need to get an affinity with a type or model of aircraft...... every time i fly that mc202 despite it's good points, i'm still just a smallish bright orange target! When i'm in a 109 it can get painful

I never understand why people say lower your aileron sensitivity? Yes lower the elevator sensitivity but always leave the ailerons at maximum. Roll rate is the most important thing and you don't want to be slowing that down (lowering ailerons doesn't help you stop stalling anyway).

If you want to change the elevator sens. you will need to find the "sweet spot" for each different plane to get the best turning the plane can do. They are very different, If you set up your sens. for say a I-16 (under half), then the next match fly a 109 of La you will have terrible turning performance if you don't remember right at the start of the match to set a 109/la level (almost max)

Oh and when you play arcade again remember to set it at max again.
