If you dont have a joystick I recommend you get one.

It all pretty much comes down to getting hardware setup, getting the basics mastered, be it views or ACM.
From that point it depends on how you learn, and how fast you can learn and assimilate the material.
There is a lot to learn, and the curve is steep at first.
There are simply too many people wanting to try Aces High for the Trainers Corp to be able to walk them through it individually.
I do open training in the TA most afternoons. If you have questions, or are having problems with a particular point, by all means stop by and ask me.
However most days it gets a bit busy, so you'll have to be patient.
I pretty much only teach basic ACM, and normally only in the D3a1. (Easier for me that way)
