played a few rounds with some of you last night.
few quick questions;
the RADIO default key is T right ? is that so only players on my team in my vicinity can hear me or is it all players in my vicinity?
Dogfighting, how can I turn and maneuver quicker? I am guessing I need to back the throttles back... should I use flaps? or any other helpful hits for gaining a advantage on my enemy? or how to better get him off my 6 ?
Bombing, MAN! is there any way to get more altitude faster? LOL
those heavys... I just put in a safe heading and hit ALT X and leave it alone for 30 min... LOL
GREAT GAME! hope to see you all more often.

Radio voice transmission can be done on two channels.
Either
Range which goes to people in your vincinity (more or less icon range). Hold
F12 while talking.
The second channel is
Tunable, the fifth box in your radio box. You can transmit to anyone on the same channel with you. Channel numbers 100 through 199 are usually used by squads. Channels 200 through 299 can also be tuned and can be used for cross country transmission (ie people tuned to it can be on different countries and still hear each other). You can also type in a GameID to use that channel for private transmission - check your mic by putting your own name in

. Hold
T while talking.
Dogfighting: Yes, working throttle is part of it. But by no means all. I suggest you check out
Net Aces,
SimHQ and
Sodas Aircraft Page for info on AH planes. Lots of info can also be found in the Help and Training Section on this board.
For practical training come by the Training Arena. Usually someone there that can answer your questions and help you with BFM/ACM.
The Trainer Corps can be contacted at
Trainers@flyaceshigh.com for scheduled training sessions.
Bombers: Yes they are sloooooooow climbers, just as they historically were. Take 25-50% fuel, thats usually plenty. Other then that, hit ALT X and go afk for half an hour is a good thing to do
