Paintbrush.....I do know about time constraints. I work turns and am not online for days at a time. Then in a two day period I might spend 8 hours. Air Warrior and Aces High have a lot in common on the education side. First just learning to take off, then flying your aircraft let alone trying to shoot someone down. It's the same as when you were a NOOB in RR playing Air Warrior
Have patience....and above all forget totally what you learned in Air Warrior. Flight Models as you know differ on each aircraft. Some do some things well and are lacking in other areas such as climbing, turning etc. Performance at altitude vs. performance on the deck and so on. Suggest you first do this.
Learn the Ki's abilities and it's shortcomings. Just learn to feel comfortable in it. Then when you feel confident fly other planes and feel them out and compare to your favorite ride. You'll see advantages you'll have against specific aircraft and disadvantages.
You're going to get your butt shot off.....a lot. We did also. Patience young Skywalker! The gents in this post have graciously offered their time to give you a hand in learning. Karnak and Wilbuz are very good sticks and great guys to boot! And above all FORGET AIR WARRIOR! Most of us already have.
If you see me online I'll be glad to help you out. I don't fly the Ki however. Karnak and Wil are the authorites there.
There's a lot to learn so start studying Jedi!
