Or you can just go in the DA and ask: "Hey guys, who wants to try out xxx plane".  Not very complicated really.   Come on in and ask.  I think you wory too much about deing than actually learning.

Well, good luck to you, LtD. I hope if you try this your experience is a good one. Lately the DA has degenerated into a primary school playground without any supervision. All sense of honor and desency has gone by the way side. Maybe it's just summertime and when the kiddies go back to school it will get back to normal. we can only hope.

Its not just the kids.  They just follow what the adults are doing (if you want to call them that.)  But, you can always change countries and go to a different field if you want to practice with someone.  Once you find someone whiling to help its easy.  You may have a problem if you come in during spoild brat time but not during the late hours.

(EDIT)
BTW, you are right, there are some real POS personalities in there but as long as they py $15, HT welcomes them.

A lot of pilots whine about this plane is superior,that plane is not modeled accurately,should be perked,blah blah blah...here's my proposal. Think outside the box for a minute here.
Design an arena that only offers one model of aircraft to choose from.
That means it would be LaLa's versus LaLa's.
N1K2 vs. nikky
Juggy vs. Juggy
F4's vs. F4's
P-38's .....
You get the idea. All variables would be taken away except for pilot skill and flying smarts.
Of course this takes away the historically accurate aspect of the game but it would offer folks a way to even the playing field and really learn the true attributes of an aircraft not only from an offensive perpective but defensive one as well.
And best of all,no more whining and I'm sure a lot more well earned salutes.
That's all,thanks for listening.

Problem is they follow. They look for the BarDar and go to those fields. We move to A19 & A20 Sunday night for squad training and had some morons follow us there and completely ignore our requests to leave us be. It was not like this just a few short months ago.

LtD, yeah they do follow what the adults do at times but it is more a matter of them knowing they are in an environment where they can get away with this with out any repercussions. It amuses them to annoy other people and to start the cussing contests.
 
Don't want anyone kicked out or anything like that. They pay, they can play. I will just not "play" along with them.

Well, that is basically what we ended up doing.

Yeah, they can be dealt with but that isn't the point. Some of us have limited time that doesn't need to be wasted on them.
