Having problems trimming planes (mainly nose trim)

[MaxGunz]

You can be in slip when flying straight.

The wash from the prop spirals around the plane and strikes the rudder which changes with speed and power settings. Unadjusted, it will tilt your wings and put you in slip. Use rudder (foot or trim) to fix it, leave the ailerons alone unless you -have- to trim them. Rudder alone should do.

A lot of new to not so new players have a hard time catching up to the AI on missions. Simple reason is that when they take off, flaps and gear up and get to 220-240 they put their nose up to follow the last AI who was climbing before you took off.

That puts your nose high at low speed, you will be forever getting anywhere.

Put your nose down, stay level (watch the VSI if need) and build up 320kph (200 mph) before you begin your climb. It takes no time compared to the other way. Climb shallow till you get to 360kph and then climb as you need to keep that speed. Once you are co-alt with your flight, try not to flash past them.
