Glad the things are starting to fall into place Falcon.  I finally feel the same way here.  I got the ACM down, I just need to work on my gunnery.

Crash, I would stay off the flaps even while looping in the spit bro.  Unlike AW where they deploy instantly with the flick of a switch, these spit flaps IMHO take WAY too long to deploy or retract to be used in a fite.  You want to be gaining speed on the way back down, and since the flaps will require a few seconds to retract once you are over the top, you wont gain as much speed on the downside as you would if you hadnt deployed them at all.

Nice to know that I'm not the only newbie in this sim...

Falcon, my advice is to join up with some 'experten flieger' and wing with them... (but of course since you are from AW you know that ). I haven't had any online experience with online flightsims... but flying with some very nice guys like Hollywd, Mitsu, Lephturn, 214CaveJ,Gie, Botwa, Fishu, Leonid,etc ( In short almost everybody that punched holes in my plane   ) has taught me alot.

Hope you and your son enjoy yourselves very much... I'll see you on my six...

I had both the Pica D9, and Spit IX. They were both great fliers, and I enjoyed many an imaginary dogfight with them.

BTW, the D9 was far more stable and aerobatic than was the Spit!
