So I imagine a number of people (myself included) are new to flight simulator games and have been drawn in by this release due to it being a part of the star wars franchise. So to those of you with ...

Here’s what I would do:
1: Spend some time remapping the controls to your liking/playstyle, and try it out in the practice range. I personally couldn’t do without inverted flight and southpaw to start with, but I also quickly found out that I wasn’t at all comfortable with the targetting wheel popping up when pressing the L2 trigger (ps4) for example, so I remapped that to r3 and kept L2 without function, etc etc etc.
2:Go to the practice range and practice maneuvers and avoiding obstacles. Get a high-acceleration engine, convert power to engines so you build up boost, and start zipping around the junkyard. Do a lot of boosting and get the drift maneuver right. I find a high-acc engine helps with that, and it’s fun! When you’re up for it, spawn a couple of mobs, lure them into the junkyard, practice finding them on your radar and of course taking them out.
3:Join a PvP game (I’d go dogfight personally but whatever) and try to dominate. If you don’t the first time, you probably will the second. Or third, sixth, tenth... Eventually you will get it.
Awesome thanks folks!
I didn't actually notice there was a practice mode lol, I jumped straight from campaign to dogfights and was getting obliterated, having a little trouble with switching from evasive maneuvers into attacks that are actually accurate.
I seem to be get A LOT of assists but being beaten to the punchline at the last moment by an ally swooping in and firing a missile or something to that extent. D:
I guess it all just boils down to an experience thing.
- @MandatoryIDtag never feel bad about assists.
This is "Squadrons"... not Call of Duty. Kill streaks don't mean $#!7 if your team loses. I'd rather get 15 assists and no kills vs. losing the match.
And eventually, you'll start racking up kills as you and your teammates communicate and hunt together.
Thanks for the tips. This is exactly what I do.

If you're good to go before a match, click READY.
If all 10 players do, the match immediately starts.
If even one player doesn't, you have to wait for the entire countdown.
- @Kanrei13 I'll add this: as a courtesy to all players, please sort your ships and pilots in the main menu rather than in the MP lobby.
