Drewpee's rule of combat.
1. It is best to engage in aerial combat when the wife and kids are in bed. Distractions in the heat of battle (like dad look what the doggy is doing to the kitty) will get you killed or accused of not loving the cat.
2. Secure your joy stick properly before you get to excited and it ends up sideways and half off the desk.
3. Take a piss before lift off.
4. Clean your screen.(that is not a bandit but fly shit on your canopy)
5. Do not put your beer in front of the joystick. It will be knocked over onto the keyboard.(IMO if the Germans had of put cup holders in there birds they just mite have won the war)
6. Is your joystick plugged in and program running?
7. (For advanced combat). TrackIR doesn't work during the day in a bright room. You will end up with a broken neck and looking at the back of your seat.
8. Unless your seat is secure or has no wheels take it easy on your rudder pedals or you will find you will move backwards and can no longer reach your controls.
9. Don't type messages and fly, it will get you killed. That's why no mobile phones were allowed in the cockpit during WW2 (Wikipedia)
10. small dog under the computer table spells death from jammed pedals and dog farts.
Hope this helps.
