Hey Rebel, welcome to AH.
You seem to be new to flight sims in general, i know the fealing. My self about 4-5 months ago i sat down and played a flight sim for the first time, Aces High.
The learning curve here is VERY steep, these guys are awesome pilots. Do your self a
HUGE favor and take
ANY help anyone offers, you will need it.
Also go to the set up in-game and calibrate your joystick, that could be why your plane is turning on ya.
My only tip is to fly offline until you get the hang of basic flight, simply because in the MA theres always a enemy threat about and thats not good practice.
Good luck and welcome to the meat grinder
