Okay that makes sense. Although that mens i must have some sort of air-brake on or something.

thanks

Throttle up, take off, raise gear, raise flaps and make sure RPM's are maxed.  Stall speed will be somewhere around 80-120 mph indicated depending on the plane.  Have more speed to manouver.

And yes, the game supports in-game voice comm.

Sure i'd love to get some training in with you if you're offering. Although i'm not quite sure if this game support in-game voice.

Don't worry. you'll get used to the gauges. This game has a steep learning curve which most of us are still on, to some degree or another.  Don't let that defeat you! It's a blast to play and see your improvements .. your first kill, etc.

I'm offering to show you a few things but I don't pass as a trainer. They have a much better grasp of explaining Air combat maneuvers than I do.  Still, I'll be happy to have you ride along and answer what questions you may have.

In the mean time, get some time with a trainer.  I promise you, within 6 hours of flying with one, you'll have a  little grasp of basic and ACM as it applies to this game and you'll be jumpstarted on the curve. There's no replacement for stick time.

You really do need to visit the training arena, it may also help if you went to the help web pages and read the getting started sections.

I have hit the training area a few times, and i seem to be doing the best at bombing. I just need to read up on what to hit on airfields and such. I don't really have the nesessary equipment or know-how to fly a fighter. Too may variables and i dont like that.

You're not alone.  Many if not most people seem to start out in bombers or vehicles as they are pretty quick to learn and provide a way to get into the game and have an impact (no pun intended) but eventually most drift to the "dark side" of fighter combat.

It sure does. We have the four basic text channels and two in game voice channels.
