Iceman1:

A question for you- are you new to flight sims?

Regarding your questions:

[list=1]
  • Getting above 350 MPH (IAS or TAS), 2 ways- (a)gain altitude then dive or (b) find a plane that can at level flight get 350 MPH and above (P-51D, LA-7, etc. etc.).
  • A roll button?  What kind of roll are you referrring to?  I'm assuming aileron rolls-  If you have a joystick, stick left to roll left, stick right to roll right.
  • Not sure what you're asking with your last question.  I'm assuming you mean why other folks are out turning you.  There can be a lot of reasons for this, not all intuitive.  For starters, some planes turn better than others.  If you like good turners- Spitfires, N1K2's, A6M5's, Hurricanes, F6F's are good planes to try out.


Hope this helps!

No there isn't a roll "button".

Aces High models realistic fly as closely as possible given the technolegy available.

To roll you need to have a joystick.

With 1 or 2 exceptions, to enjoy AH and have a chance at winning you must have a joystick.
Personally I recomend the MS Sidewinder Prec 2.
Its USB, good all in one stick for 50$.

If you do have a joystick and are just having trouble email me at billj69@btinet.net

I'll be glad to try to work with you.
