As for the afterburners, I didn't know that there was a level indicator that showed how full you were, where is this displayed at?

You also mentioned to use it in short bursts, are you saying that when you have an enemy jet on your 6 and you are trying to evade it and when you are making turns to loose him, you should just tap it or something?

It´s the bar below your jet health. You´ll see it regenerate after you´ve used it up.

Yea, you use it in short bursts while you are doing evasive maneuvers. This way, you won´t "run out" of afterburners if you have a really perseverant pain in the ass enemy jet on you.

So yea, tap it a few times while you are doing your turns so you don´t allow a constant lock on your six. Something you should know is, your jet is most vulnerable when you´re going straight, so when you´re evading enemy jets make sure that you make your spins and turns smoothly. Sometimes a pilot is making a turn to the left, then straightens out and turns to the right (while evading). This instance when you straighten your jet out will be capitalized by the enemy jet.

I need help as well, I dont do all that hot but get some decent kills. Air to air is better than bombing so, if possible I'd love some practices on it.
Thanks for the info above as well.

Xav would make a great teacher. :P

Hehe, I still qualify as a student IMO..but thanks Reis. I consider my flying too erratic and I don´t know how much help I can be, since I fly with the keyboard and most of the guys are learning to fly with the joystick.

Xav, unless I am looking at the wrong stats you have a 7:1 K ratio as aviator. I think you graduated from student a long time ago.

Now on the ground you might still be a student. :10
