    Help! Newbie here!

    Hi Guys,

    I am having a hard time to use the map and to find specific locations in the map.
    I normally start flying and I connect to teamspeak and I hear a lot of action, but I look around and I don't actually find anything

    Besides that, I learned how to set the giro and the compass, but if I want to go to sector c-4, for example, how can I define the proper direction I should follow?

    Sorry for all those silly questions, but I am trying to find the best way to do that and somethings I feel overwhelmed by the controls. Trying to setup the gyro in flight and still try to follow a straight line and keeping the altitude (even with trim), seems really complex.

    I read the beginners manual from Lewis a couple of times and I still feel kind of lost

    If you have some tips or links that I could read about navigation and how to keep sane with all those controls at the same time, I would really really appreciate!

    Thanks and best regards!

    Welcome Djorous.

    Certainly not my area of expertise (no area is!), but you can have a look in these threads, and you might find some helpful info.

    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...light=magnetic

    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...light=magnetic

    There are probably others buried in the threads as well.

    There are tools in the in game map as well, and you could give those a try.

    You have to take into account the magnetic deviation and add 10 percent (give the poor compass a tip for helping you out...)

    Hope these help

    In game you'll find the controls in settings.

    In here, there is a list of each plane and controls needed. They are sticky threads in this flight school section.

    Game controls works ONLY after I assign new keys and joystick commands.
