And here's the basics of recovering from a stall. There's two main things ppl use, either ease up on the throttle and give rudder to opposite side of the spin and then there's the way of putting your throttle to the max and giving rudder to the opposite direction of the spin, this however varies between the planes, some might need an rudder to the direction of the stall. You can see which is the right way by looking at your speed dial, when the speed is rising, that's the way to use rudder on. The latter method is what I use, obviously because stalling means the plane doesnt have the speed to maintain itself in the air anymore. Here's an example of a stall and what I do to get out of it. My plane stalls and starts to spin to the left. I throttle up to the max, push my stick forward and to the top-left corner and apply full rudder to the right. Depending of the speed, your plain should wobble abit after a few seconds and go into a straight dive. This is the part where most rookies make the mistake by pulling the stick too hard to level up and instead of surviving, they go to another stall, which will be worse than the first one because of the low speed. No matter how close to the ground you are DO NOT pull the stick hard!! If you dont have the altitude to pull up gently, then you die, but by pulling the stick too hard you lose the changes to recover you had in the first place.

@ Tarjak you were no better or worse than me when I first took to the game,'''some would say I'm getting no better''' just get yourself in single missions and a bit of practise and you''ll be up there slugging it out. Come to think of it a free for all dogfight might not have been the ideal scenario for you at the weekend,the co-op mission might have been better suited.That way everyone might have had a bit time to explain a few basics while we were all sitting on the runway for take-off

a Co-op would be even worse as everytime someone crashes I need to restart the whole map. with a Dogfight server you just hit Refly and try again. so the next time Tarjak or Penny are up for a flight we are going to act as flying instructors. HunterICX

Well here is a real embarassing thing. I was taking off fine in the B-25 but I cranked up the realism and started a fighter campaign and could'nt get off the ground. I kept winding up to the left and up on my nose.
I was at the point that I was ready to fling the joystick out the window until I ran thru the controller assignments. Damn. Somehow I had the axis reversed Well I'm getting off the ground now but the flight leader stays on my butt constantly and I'm pretty much getting smoked.
