I've messed around enough on my own and am ready for some help. I went to the training forum and flew around a little. I didn't see another airplane. The map showed I was in the mini scenario zone at field A2. The forum notes said field A1 is reserved for trainers and those who want training. I pulled the map down and saw a basic training zone with field A1. There didn't seem to be a way to get there.
My basic flying skills are OK. I can do manual takeoffs and land. I can get the plane from point A to point B OK. I can recover from stalls and most spins. My SA is awful. I can do some manuvers but I suspect they seem better to me than they would to an observer. I've tried the 8 man games and discovered I can't put it together well enough to last more than a minute or two in an encounter. I get shot down to fast to learn much. I have good gear, CH fighterstick, pro-throttle, and pro-pedals.
Is it possible to just drop in and get some help? My schedule is a little unpredictable right now so I am hesitant to set up an appointment. How do I get to the basic training zone? The mini scenario zone didn't seem to be it.
Base A1 in the Training Arena is a Bishop field. To switch to the Bishops team, bring up your clipboard while in tower (not in flight) with the ESC key and click on OCLUB > CHANGE COUNTRY. Then select Bishops and OK. To move to another (green) base on the map, double click it.
You can bring up then radio chat with the / key, then type your message and ENTER to send. Even when there are no trainers online, there is usually someone there that can help you out. And check the help file and
http://www.netaces.org for tips on setup, gameplay and tactics.
Please feel free and email the Trainers at
trainers@hitechcreations.com. Let us know your ingame name and times (time zone!) youre available. Well be happy to help you set up your game, Joystick and views (key to a good SA!) and get you going. Or you can also just drop by the Training Arena (TA) and ask for help. Im usually online during European evenings (1 pm to 6 pm EDT), my ingame name is Schatzi as well.
