I like to use tracers too most of the time, but for the new pilot using tracers can often get them into some bad habits. For one they tend to learn to walk the rounds to the target witch not only is a waist of rounds but does nothing for teaching them to lead and aim properly. That is the reason I say no tracers (for beginning) even though is seems to make killing harder, and I must state that I am asuming that the new pilot is using the lead targeting system in the TA and offline to learn the basics of gunnery, if they didn't then no tracers would be just frustrating.
As far as the basic flying goes that is planned to be on a different page that will cover take offs and landings and go into more depth in all the general flying areas. What I put on the ACM page just a quik overview of the basics so they are located in the same area for refferance.
More maneuvers: I plan on adding a few more moves so if there are any that you think will be useful please let me know, (a nice step by step description would be nice too :-)
