I've heard a trick called "proper spelling and grammar" but I think it's just a rumor.
Try decreasing the fuel loadout, and wait for your plane to gain plenty of speed before gently pulling up on your stick.
-
Try no more than 50% fuel, gain speed, then keep it while you practice maneuvering.
-
Check to see if your axis got switched somehow in controller preferences. That has happened to me a couple of times. Not sure why but they did. Just a suggestion.

Agree Joe...maybe some effort at proof reading what one typed might also be useful. My goodness...:eek:

Also a very important thing to do is setting your views! After all you cannot shoot someone you dont see.

I'm in the TA most afternoons roughly from 3 - 4:30 central time.
Feel free to give me a shout and we'll see what we can do.

Remember that Bugs Bunny cartoon where Yosemite Sam chases Bugs into a huge airplane parked on the tarmac? And in the next scene Bugs is in the pilot's seat, wearing a pilot's cap, and buried behind a four foot high book titled "How To Fly"...?
Hilarious. :D

Kazz, many unknown variables with your post. From what little you posted Bro definitely sounds as though your stalling out. Without being there to actually see what your doing it's hard to advise.
It appears you are new to the game, welcome. I would recommend you take a little time, and Ghosth's advice..........take a trip to the "Training Arena", it will be well worth your investment of time. Most times there will be a trainer on duty like Ghosth. Even if there isn't a trainer on, there is generally experienced players in the TA that will offer you help in improving your flying skills.................not your "Spelling & Grammer".
Again, welcome to HTC..........your newst addiction :D

Most likely your plane "rumbles and plummits towards the ground" because it's stalling. In most planes you need at least 150 mph ias (the white needle on the speedometer) before you can even begin to think about pulling up and even that is marginal.
I suggest, until you learn a little more, that you turn on auto take-off. It's located under options/preferences IIRC.

Dont pull up....
While this is partially tongue in cheek its also fundementally correct.
Learning to accurately gauge stick inputs is a fundemental part of flying (both IRL and in a sim). More real pilots die from excessive inputs/correction then any other pilot related cause. The single biggest fundemental in teaching unusual atitude recovery IRL is "unloading" the control surfaces. Many planes are very docile prior to departure and early attention to input and power settings avoid often fatal complications due to either overspeeding or overstressing the airframe (think JFK Jr). If you simply "let go" you find that your plane will self correct rather nicely prior to a full stall...once "stable" simple control inputs will return you to level flight.
Probably the best (saddest) example of this is the 737 crash in Pittsburgh (US Air I believe) where two seasoned pilots were so overwhelmed they never unloaded the plane and crashed even though they had plenty of air under the wings for well over a minute...
In the game as you get more experienced the ability to control stick pressure in a knife fight often comes down to unloading or almost unloading the plane in low speed high AoA (Angle of attack) conditions to maximize E state and maintain control at the edge of the flight envelope.
As a side note the recent 737 clip from hamburg shows outstanding judgement and proper control inputs under life threatening conditions as the plane was thrown into unusual attitude at the worst possible moment.

I missed the part about good grammer being a requirement to post, and when did my witchy high school english teacher become a moderator here?
