I forgot about those DOWLY. I bow to your knowledge

If anyone knows about flightsims it's DOWLY, Sniper50.

He's crash landed about every plane in it. :rotfl:

Does the joystick have twist handle for the rudder? If not, you ought to either buy a new joystick or pedals as in a dogfight, you're doomed if you have to work the rudder via keyboard.

Then you're all set to hit the skies. And feel free to join our little SubSim Aviators group anytime you want, we fly almost every night together for a few hours. That's the best way to learn the game if you ask me, fly together in a private server where we can give you tips in realtime etc.

I cant even start to imagine how hard it would be to fly with pedals after the twist handle.

Dan? Hell, that info is then atleast 350 years old. I think our "master of landings" is now Kratos, he get's the plane down to the runway but usually with abit too much speed. Me and Hunter are usually just watching from the side Kratos' plane go tires screeching past us and then you hear a big crash and a faint voice: "Guys... I'm stuck...". :rotfl:
