I mean I know I can't really fly and I and struggling with target identification, but being locked to specific nations is far worse that I ever thought it would be...
I mainly fly British planes so being locked to USA and Jap planes is really throwing me in a loop. I expected the noob flying and not recognizing planes but damn... The locked nations is really, really sucky.
On the plus side I'm getting better with joystick every game. Any tips for a new sim pilot?

That's one thing I don't have, but I have a nipple type 3rd stick on my x52 I'm using for view controls that works ok. GOt my first assist... F4U that I followed for a while and got a few hits into was then just derped by another Ki43 who was a far better pilot than me.

Spanakis just spent $15 setting up a home made "Track IR." http://www.clanaod.net/forums/showthread.php?t=102816 Originally Posted by AOD_BritishBob

I also tried to play some simulator battles, but it didn't work out that great since I'm missing a joystick. Can anyone recommend a joystick to buy, not too expensive tho :P.

Also second hand sticks can be a real cheap way in. But I'd rather try in person to see the quality rather than ebay. (kinda baldy explained what I mean there hope you get the idea.)
