(Anyones Opinion On AcesHigh II And Read My Post If You Are Going To Add)

You'll love it here- just don't get frustrated at first.  Since you're new, I'll answer all the early questions right off the bat:

-Use the number line (row of numbers at top of keyboard) to set your throttle
-A is left rudder
-S centers the rudder
-D is right rudder
-Spacebar is the wheel brakes
-Mouse is for ailerons and elevator
-Left click to shoot
-Right click to shoot secondary weapon
-The Training Arena lets your fly anything for free with no impact on your statistics, so experiment in there, not the Main Arena (MA)
-There are plenty of trainers in the Training Arena (TA)
-Bullets have physics, so aim above your target at distance and in front of them in a turn fight
-Don't shoot until the plane fills your targeting reticle
-If they're not dead enough, you're not close enough
-Boom 'n Zoom is the strategy of diving in from altitude and shooting (hence, 'Boom') and then 'zooming' back up to altitude using the speed you gained in the dive
-Turn 'n Burn is the strategy of turning as tightly as you can in order to avoid getting shot
-Energy, or 'E', is the sum of your kinetic energy (usually airspeed) and your potential energy (usually altitude) at any given time
-You win a dogfight by managing your energy better (i.e., getting him/her/them to drain his/hers/theirs while keeping yours)
-Get a joystick, headset, and rudder pedals ASAP
-TrackIR tracks your head movements in order to move the camera.  It can cause motion sickness to the point of vomiting, but if you do puke, it doesn't make you a weak person, just one that puked.
-Find a squad for even more fun
-A 'shade' is a second forum account

Learning curve to the game is extrememly steep. dont be deterred from the game because you get shot down 300 times before you get a kill. When you start to get kills you will very quickly realize how fun the game is. Also, find a plane you like and find someone who flies it frequently for advice on it. I see you have a P51 in your avatar, I'm guessing that is your ride of choice for now. Boom and Zoom, as penguin described, in it as much as possible. it can turn, but it takes more skill then the average pilot to do so well.

In any plane, rudder, throttle, flaps and Trim are all needed to soem degree to be flown well. DO NOT try to use them all in one sitting, it will make it harder to find out what they do best when. Rudder and flaps will be used the most, so try and learn those first. flaps give you more lift under your wing, rudder or 'Yaw' rotates the plane off its nose left and right. you will find yourself in time using your rudder A LOT to line up that perfect shot, and flaps to help you gain that angle for the shot in a turn.
another big thing is Stall limiter. disable this in your Options->Preferences->flight. I am not sure what it does exactly, but you will find the plane MUCH easier to fly with it off, and also you wont stall as much with it off.

Do your homework before logging on.
Listen to your parents when they ask you to log off.
Above all else, have fun. It's just a game.

Aces High is a MMOWWI/WWIICFS/G (Massively Multiplayer Online World War I/World War II Combat Flight Simulator/Game). It is a MMOWWI&WWIICFS/G that I like very much.
