So you  know, there is a forum under Aces High BBS>help and support>help and training for help questions. You may also like to try a visit to the training arena, which has lots of people working on stuff and often an official Trainer who can help.

Joysticks are not mandatory, but are VERY helpful. You wont be able to truly enjoy the game without one. A good all around one is the Saitek Evo, though if you cant swing that you can get a starter one for less.

Throttle is set by pressing the + or - on the letter portion of the keyboard. SHift+ gives you full throttle. I suspect thats your problem....give it a go!

means you are not throttling up.  i do not know the default keyboard button for it.  maybe try assigning it to mouse scroller button?

you need a joystick.

Simaril, just a side note.... when throttle is assigned to either JS lever or mouse wheel (done usually automatically when its there) the =/SHIFT_= and -/SHIFH_- for throttle are disabled.

Slayer the - and = keys are throttle on keyboard. If you have a mouse wheel, that will be throttle also.

One other thing, what time do you fly(EST) and do you fly online? If I can I'll try to meet up with you and give you a hand.

Oh and also if you private message me your address, when I get around to it, I'll send you a jstick. I got more than a few laying around that I was just going to throw into storage.
