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 ...

@MandatoryIDtag Congrats on getting this pinned! I just logged on and it’s great to see the community has been swift to establish a way to help each other.
I haven’t played it yet, but I know some stuff:
- Learn manuevers (I spelt that wrong) and tactics from real life, and try and apply them
- Play the campaign. It teaches you how to do everything basic and builds up to more advanced stuff like drifting. Apparently. Also the story is reportedly not too bad, which is great as I see it would be kind of hard to fix a good plot into different maps and tutorials.
I’ll leave it at that until I’ve actually played
@BullitMagnet74 said some really good points.

@HCarbonic Yup thanks!
I'm a firm believer in AHQ being about more than just grumbling about bugs. 😛
Always willing to do my bit to help others and I applaud anyone else who does the same. :D
Use the practice range!
Practice flying in debris fields, like everyone has said here.
There is oversteer, it is not point and click. We all have to deal with it regardless of peripherals. It is very manageable.
Use boost and drift to your advantage. I can't tell you the multitude of players who do not use it to their advantage or use it at all. You have a mechanic that allows you to change vector almost immediately. Use it, practice at full engines, and fly around debris fields in the practice mode.
Play around with builds against Ace level AI in practice mode.
Don't get discouraged. There are a lot of people who have years of experience (like myself ) with flight sims and space sims current and past that have the same/similar mechanics this game has. Mouse users can be just as effective as joystick users and vice versa. You will learn, have fun with it, and know with every death you learn something.
One other thing. Joystick users...bump your sensitivity to 100% until they fix the dead zone issues. Without that added curve it's a sloppy mess.
- @MandatoryIDtag I feel you. The battlefront 2 forums were mostly a place to report bugs, but after the official forums ceased to exist, we’ve made AHQ much more than just, well, an answers head quarters.
I’m here to do my bit, pick up some stuff, annoy everyone with bad humour and spread the word of the lord. Gonk!@HCarbonic All hail gonk. 😉
I'm still going through the single player but there's some good stuff in here. As a PC player using my gamepad for this game is quite the challenge.
