I have 500 + kills at this point.

My favorite plane by far is the LA-7. I also like the Spit Mk XVI. And I am jealous of people who have taken the time to unlock the Bf 109 K-4 because of it's extreme guns! But I hate german planes in general so I doubt I will take the time to unlock it.

I don't know i think he is 2nd in dogfight and in team dogfight. might just wait around his hanger with a bat and hit him over the head. but i hope the bat does not fly away too

Unfortunately there are never any Sim games on the PS3 or I would use your guide like a bible. Everyone plays arcade..

Yeah, most of the matches I play seem to be with the same dozen people or so. Basically, anyone who is on the first page of the leaderboards is who I fly against the most. (Except for Monster)

Hi PedroTheGoat

Thx for this post cause it helped me quite a lot and I completly agree with you. Unfortunately I play on the PS3 and I cannot join you guys which mentality sticks to mine.

Anyway I have two questions for you that could sound stupid.

this il all about ADJUST YOUR ELEVATOR SENSITIVITY things...

1st:

In the options settings, you can effectively adjust your elevator sensitivity... can you give an example of what you do with the plane you use the most?
For instance: " I fly the spit MKIX and set the ailerons sensitivity max - 5"

2nd ( 2 for the price of one):

Also, while explaining all this, do you refer to the "flow corrector" (sorry if that is the worng term but that is a direct translation from french)?
I mean, when your flightstick is on its neutral position, do you let your plane fly horizontally, or do you set it to fly going up a little bit so this might increase your turning rate?

I hope that my questions were clear...
And thank you for your help I appreciate it much....

I typically fly the La 7 or the Yak 3. La 7 usually gets about -3. Yak gets about -5.

I usually do not adjust my trim. I leave it alone... If you mess with your trim too much then it may mess up your envelope.

I think you mean rate of turn, because else you just told everyone a B17 would be awesome in dogfighting due to it's huge turn radius . Turn radius would be the distance travelled in a turn: a small one is most useful. Rate of turn is an indication as to how fast your heading changes: a big one is most useful.
Thought I'd point it out to avoid confusion .
Nice guide btw. Playing realistic now due to laziness, but I think I might start sim soon, although my teammates might start to hate me for being unable to identify a friendly .

I was worried about this at first too but decided to jump into a sim game anyway. It turns out that when you play a team game that everyone gets markings on their planes to tell teams apart. Both the right wing and the fuselage, just before the tail, have a color stripe on them. Blue for team B and red for team A. You may have to get a little closer than you're used to to see the markings but if you look for them they are easy enough to see.

I am using an SD TV and am able to see them, I'm sure an HD TV would make it a bit easier.

Does this game have friendly fire online?

I thought it was friendly always blue enemy always red?

Hey, I learned something new today! I just assumed that B was always blue because I always ended up on team B. I haven't played much online, I still have a lot to learn.
