One bit of advice I got years ago is both very simple and I think very valuable.  Rember to breathe, try amd stay calm.  When you get in a new situation, or get excited you tend to tense up and hold your breath.  This in turn leads to a death grip on the stick which leads to over controlling.  Over controlling, ruins aim and bleeds E. 

...why do I feel like I just typed a DirecTV commercial....

Remember to Breath trying to stay Calm.

When you get Excited, you tend to hold your breath.

When you hold your Breath you tense up and Death grip the Joystick.

Don't Deathgrip the joystick.

Order Direct TV now for $29.99 for the first year and $249.99 for the 2nd, if the Deathgrip doesn't kill you in Aces High, Direct TV's pricing will. Don't Death Grip.

just though id add this..(im no fighter jock by the way) but in my oppinion there is no replacement for experience. When first starting to burn up the virtual skies, i actively was on the lookout for the veteran sticks, engaged them (promptly was sitting in the tower) filmed it all, then watched it. Got right back up and did it again. All the advice ive seen given on this thread is great. Its good to see the help being given when asked for. Dont get discouraged, keep at it, stay agressive and it will come...most of all have fun!!!

Best advice I got on gunnery was this. (This was a good way that helped me get better at gunnery)

Target is 200 away, lead them by 1 plane length.
Target is 400 away, lead them by 2 plane length.
600 = 3 plane length and anything beyond that you'll be wasting ammo.


 :aok :aok
This has helped my gunnery alot. Thanks for the tip  :aok :aok

Howdy YB3 ... I am not a trainer but I do live close to you (Kiwi) ...If you can manage to get on during your morning and get some training from a trainer they would be your best bet...however if you can't get on till the evenings I could help you out with some of the basic things to help you out some.

Giday again.
Been doing some practice with the tips players have suggested in this topic and I recommend other newbie`s in the air do the same.

Did a training session with FHL for an hour learnt a lot in that hour about lines , angles , scissors , suggestions , information , how g`s affect a planes proformance , turns and merges. Also filmed the training and learn something new each time I play the film back. Thank you for your time :o) see you again next Sat.

One of the tips suggested was staying calm during the fight and not get excited and tense up , been working on that and that really has helped a lot.

Latrobe`s distance for aiming his shots has also really helped out , and also when in the fight I am holding my fire until i have a good shot instead of a low % shot <<<< wasting bullets/cannons and are looking at fight`s in a hole different angle/way then what I did before. 

One other thing what has helped me a lot is instead of flying 3 or 4 planes just staying to the one plane and have fun in that plane.     

SPKmes.
Most of the time I am on the afternoons evenings our time , but most differently be keen :o) and appreciated.

Regards

Great advice and I also notice when I was using a twist stick that I was twisting the stick when I did not need too slowing me down .

One bit of advice I got years ago is both very simple and I think very valuable.  Rember to breathe, try amd stay calm.  When you get in a new situation, or get excited you tend to tense up and hold your breath.  This in turn leads to a death grip on the stick which leads to over controlling.  Over controlling, ruins aim and bleeds E.

Yb3,

  I've been away from the TA the last few weeks but I hope to be back the next weeks or so.  I'm usually in there around 9pm est which would be 11 am your yime if I have the timezone correct. First I need the lottery numbers,since your the next day.... :D   All kidding aside,if you can make it at that time look for me.  you can use the .F morfiend to see if I'm logged on or not and I'll be glad to help in anyway I can.  If you can make an appointment with FLS you will learn alot so try to do that as well. 

  A couple of different prospective from different trainers can go along way

Yes let mOrp help he helped me and the 1st game afterwards got 10 kills in about 6 mins he's very helpful! :aok

   It would help to know your ingame name also.
