As a new player I figured It out on My third try. 1 issue , Most new players go right into the Melee instead of spending a few weeks offline learning. The offline flight school should be emphasized and probably isn't. I see quite a few veteran players who can't land or take off and cuss the player who turns the ship to avoid bombers of shelling when They are landing or attempting a takeoff, but back to the simulator part. You are not supposed to do It anyway. Right, This is a game..... Right? Here is a though about take offs..... Catapults.
