All the other captains have given great advice.
My input:
- Data mine this site and the web. Lot's of good stuff out there.
- Youtube. Rockin' Robbins, Werner Sobe and others have made some great
tutorials.
- Start playing the sim. Push buttons and see what things do.
- Make yourself a reference sheet with all the commands. If you don't have the
reference from the game, find it.
- Keep in mind this isn't some kind of 'run and gun' game. It's more a chess
match. It's going to take time.
My 2 cents worth.
