Hey there, today is my last free day and I don't care what my wife says I'm signing up. I was wondering though, can you guys list all the abbreviations you can think of you use in text? like wtg... for example.
Also whats the cheapest mic I can get that will do the job? ANy other tricks of the trade or any bad habits you can warn me not to get into?
Thanks,
Brandon

Oh boy, this one may get ugly. If at all possible, try to get her to play from time to time. That may lessen the blows some.

Just divorce her. Worked for me. Oops... wait... she divorced me. Well, it worked out anyway.

Just enjoy the game. Understand it takes a while to be skillfull. Most of all do everything in the game and have fun! I would start off by asking for a trainer. If none are available I would to the TA = Training Arena and practive turning and landing in a variety of aircraft. Use the CV too.
So just get out kill something and drag it home.
