Learning to take off and land: Videos and tutorials are all over the internet for this, and it's a good idea to watch some youtube videos.

Learning BFM/ACM: There's really no substitute for getting shot down a lot, reviewing your performances, and learning a lesson each time.

However with that said, there are some good guides worth reading.

You should do some research and learn some basic concepts that will help you develop a good mental state for learning to be a fighter pilot. Depending on your experience level, some of these might be very simple to you, but if you are comfortable with all of them you will be able to learn more easily when you get shot down or when you have a successful dogfight.

-relationship between energy, airspeed, altitude: what is it?
-air to air gunnery theory: convergence, bullet physics, learning how to gauge angle-off and range to target, etc.
-Energy Tactics vs Angles Tactics, which is superior? (hint: neither)

And most importantly: Ask specific questions! "How (and when) do I fly a rolling scissors?" etc. Lots of really experienced guys are flying this game, you'd be silly not to use them as a resource!

Good luck!
