I know how to start my plane, shoot, adjust flaps, bring gears up, land, take off, and of course... shoot.  I just need some practice practice practice

Then go to the TA, TA, TA.

Stop talking about it and do it.

There are trainers there most of the time and they WANT to help you.

Anyway, I don't have the GAME any more.  I said I would get it if I got any support.  now that I have support my fricking dad won't let me get it because he sais Im already suscribing to another thing.  I'm thuroughly convinced I'm not...  

Anyway, once the long battle is over i'll be playing playing playing

Well, if you're dad's going to pay for it once you tell him to cancel whatever else is showing up on his credit card, that's great.

But OTOH, $15 a month shouldn't be very hard to earn, even if you are only 13.  Mow a lawn or two or walk some dogs.

In the meanwhile, as BaldEagl said, read, read, read.

Once you get the game, do three things:

Find a trainer, either official or regular player, and pay attention to what they say.

Find a guy in the TA who's about the same skill level as you, and practice, practice, practice with him 1 v 1.

Find a guy who's much better than you and go duel him once in awhile so that you can judge your progress.  The first few times, you'll be destroyed in short order.  Don't get discouraged.  After much practice, you'll start to live longer, and maybe one day, with a lot of work (which is suprisingly fun in this game), you'll match him.

Good luck :aok

God bless the gentlemen who have the patience to train the under-aged.  I unfortunately waste all my patience on the 'wife.'  For me its an age-discrimination thing.  I will admit if a 'squeaker' asks how do you change countries,  I certainly will reply with Alt-F4 or you have to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

For me the MA is mindless dogfighting and the occassional mission base cap (too few and not frequent enough).  FSO and SEA is where the mindlessness stops.

Download the game and start practicing in the 8 player arenas. You can get lots of target practice in there ;) The risk is that you get stuck on a quite low skill level. Not saying that everyone in 8 players suck.

This is a great game and much like in real life there are a lot of really good people that will bend over backwards to help you and a lot of people who will take unnecessary pot shots at you.

If you're completely serious and get an account I'll pass on anything from my thimblefull of knowledge to help you out.  I'm usually in the TA or the AVA so feel free to look me up. (call sign Dichodog)  

I know a young man about a year older than you who is a really good stick so skill and age are mutually exclusive.  

You've gotten some good advice in this thread I hope you take it to heart.

Good luck young man

Just a suggestion from a dad 4 times over ... do a little extra around the house for a couple of months.  

Good luck :aok
