Turns and "the ball"

[Jumoschwanz]

It is good to learn how to get the most out of your aircraft in every situation it and you are in, but if you sit there staring at your balls in combat you are dead.

If you have a natural knack for flight sims then you should just be able to fly around and discover what is right on your own. If you have to think about what you have heard and read during combat you will never be an ace, your aircraft has to work for you as your limbs do, and your eyes have to be nowhere but on your opponent.
