aerobatic maneuvers

Ha! Sure enough. I did the roll, compensated for altitude, and get the happy russian yelling and the spade card! Thanks.

Sure seems like a tight roll though. Is a pursuing enemy really going to blow by me if I start rolling like that and he doesn't?

Cool that the program recognized my maneuver though.

Just out of curiosity, is there any benefit to getting the card? Is there some sort of achievement, or unlock with them?

That is not a true barrel roll.

A true barrel roll has you pulling back on the stick and then performing a roll while still pulling back on the stick all the way through. This will shake their fire a little.

That's my thought. It looked like an aileron roll to me too, but they gave me credit.

I can't seem to get the immelman or the split S credit though. Wonder what I'm doing wrong? For the split S, I flip over, and then pull er back until I've come around the bottom, yet I don't get the credit. There really can't be more to it than that.

It has to be pretty precise to get the immelman and split S. Try not to use the rudder.
