Ok so I've played the sim for 12 months now. Messed about with rad settings and prop pitch and I still cant get any a/c to go past 180mph on the level. What am I doing wrong?

Yikes, SIGNALNORTH, I’d be pleased to meet up with you on the ATAG Server to wing up with you on Spitfires or Hurricanes. We can run through start up, take off, cruise and combat settings to get you sorted out. Be sure to install Teamspeak (it’s free) so we can easily converse back and forth. The ingame chat works, but it’s terribly awkward to type and fly at the best of times.
Let me know here or via PM if you’re interested. This sim isn’t much fun unless you can fly your aircraft to its limits.
Cheers,
Snapper

Have you mastered the art of "trimming" your aircraft. Trimming your aircraft makes sure you're gliding through the air in the most energy efficient manner. An aircraft that is not trimmed properly creates unnecessary/unwanted drag on your aircraft and will substantially effect the speed with which the craft moves through the air. It also makes for a very unstable gun platform which makes it difficult to land most shots. Early in my "career" I found an excellent video that detailed how to trim your aircraft, unfortunately the link is no longer active. If trimming is your problem (which I suspect it might be since you state this is occurring with any aircraft that your flying), others may have links to information on how to trim your aircraft, that can assist you.
Good luck!

Much more success due to advice on this page and that video. Thanks all! Offline just caught with a 109 for the first time and shot it down. Snapper I would love to fly in a big online dogfight but need to buy a headset first. Would you talk me through a few things on line when I get set up? Much appreciate your offer.
The moment someone learns something, they go and shoot down 109s... see, this is why learning is bad.
Leaving jokes aside, SIGNALNORTH, you're in the right community to get quickly up-to-speed on flying and having fun in Cliffs of Dover. Make sure you get that Team Speak and headset, it's priceless, whether it's for learning, or just having fun online.
