I had a very nice 90 min or so lesson from Widewing one night, and really started to get the feel the 38.  
I'm pretty sure WW has a hack of some kind running that simply lets him hover around, turn on a dime, hang on the prop, and a few other maneuvers I tried that made me do a lawn dart impression....:D
That's for the offer Wadke.  I was only flying the F6F because we had a carrier available, but I always want to learn more about the different planes and their capabilities.  Still studying Soda's page....
If I see on, I'll give ya a shout.  
'My' squad and I are going to practice some team tactics next week, so ya'll better watch out.  
I think I understand the Thatch weave now...Spitter flies out in front and leads all the enemy planes into his squadmates sights....:rofl

Cheers,
Spitter


Thats great  that Widewing showed ya the ropes ... I had Delirium and Silat run me thru the mini-boot camp. I owe all I know to them ... hehehe.

Wadke ... baaaaaah ... what he knows about the F6F you could fit on the head of pin ... ;)

Thatch Weave ... this is an air-sim not some craft class !!!!

I passed your invite onto Squigly, Sax.  I'll let ya know what he says.

Oh, and, what's the story behind your handle?  

I only ask, 'cuz I play sax myself...:aok  Unfortunately, I play only marginally better than I fly.

Cheers,
Spitter

Glad to have been some help.

I agree with that attitude & direction you'll go far.

Ordinarily I'm pleased if someone just says thanks. To actually start a post & say thank you again is over the top. And also much appreciated.

LOL @ sax.  
I started playing the sax when I was 8 years old, and my dad bought stock in an earplug company for a couple years....
I don't drag it out and play nearly as much as I should, but I can at least get some good mellow tunes out of it with a bit of warming up still.

My wife, SIL, and I actually recorded a xmas music CD a few years ago.  :)  Didn't turn out all that bad.  

See ya up!

Cheers,
Spitter

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use combat trim.

I have a 4-way button mapped on my HOTAS that adjusts elevator trim (very important) and also flaps. I am constantly adjusting elevator trim and only get into the flaps when really turn-fighting. Also, dive flaps help more than most realize.

If you choose to fly the P-38 with Combat Trim on, then you might as well strap wings to a school bus and try to fight with that.


Great... now everyone will be good in it.
