Thank you Andy, honestly.
If anything this thread will help cyberpilots just starting out, to better understand the complexities of ACM.
Many "newbies" wonder why it is that they just can't beat the other guy, never realizing that the other guy has literally years of practice.
The best part of Flight Sims is the ability to replane after the compression dive and learning that a ZEKE does not pull out at 450 mph.
Or talking to the "bandit" that just splashed him, and learning what he did wrong or more importantly what he did right.
I have 8 years in Naval Aviation as a jet engine mechanic, mainly on the GE TF-34 and I understand thrust, lift, drag, and pitch, however many don't.
I have enjoyed a lot of Air Combat Sims, starting way back in the mid 80's, so I'm not a newbie to Flight Sims or BFM terminology but even I had a hard time following your last post.
Therefore what I propose is to not require a "newbie" to have an aerospace engineering degree or to have completed TOPGUN school to understand basic ACM, instead I feel that using a common man's language of how the many concepts apply to make the whole would be of much greater help to the average Joe than using long technical terms.
I do plan to edit the page sometime in the future to include topics such as engine torque, (how it effects certain maneuvers) aircraft trimming and throttle control.
If you would like to edit our ACM page to make it more accurate and coherent, I would greatly appreciate the feedback and any help you may wish to offer.
