I had an idea that there may be interest in either from beginner traing, or conversion to certainn types of aircraft. Using FS2002, Instructors station and Roger Wilco voice. Would anyone be interested? If so reply below.
Thanks, Dan G

This traing for multiplayer seems pretty good. I will volunteer for training in dogfighting for multiplayer. I am also very good at keepong it wing to wing in a battle.

Cool, another young guy! When you say that you volunteer in dogfighting training, do you mean to instruct or to be taught? I was thinking only of doing civil flight because I'm not so god at combat! I used to be great on CFS1, but I seem to have lost the old touch.

well if ur playing regulkar Flight simulator games, it will still help you out. Because u know whats to hi and lo low.
And i volunteer to instruct dogfighting. I got a few moves up my sleeve. I learned one not to long ago that is the best move ever. Infact i will explain it right here.

Ok it ccannot be done in some aircraft, but it works best in the fastest aircraft.(p-51D for me)
In this lesson we will be using the p-51D. Now when you have someone on your tail and can't shake, try this.

Drop your nose to gather some speed, then go STRAIGHT UP.(make sure your plane is faster then his)
When your speed drops to 70 or 60 MPH Rudder to the lft as hard as u can. The guy behind you will stall, once you have turned around on him, and u got a clear shot on his @$$.

Positive- Good, sleek, fast,
Gather up speed on the way back down.
Easy way to get rid of the enemy.

Negative- If the plane is too close to you it can turn on you instead.
When going straight up he has a clear shot, so u must make sure u do this fast.

NEVER CUT YOUR THROTTLE WHEN GOING UP!!!!!!! The guy on your tail won't do that. He will come right over u and shoot you.

Sounds good! I'll have to try that on CFS1! How do you propose to teach in FS2002, without guns? I'm just about ready to start teching in the stock Baron 58, for twin conversion, or from nothing.
Pupils or guinea pigs welcome.

That is basically a stall-turn Snuffle, not a good idea in real combat as you make yourself into a big target...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

blech i don't have FS2002.
But how i would train them would be like this. If someone can't navigate the intruments on a boeing 747 or something, it would be cool if he was the pilot and he was your co-pilot. Be really hard not to do it that way. But if u can't do that do this:

Get in smaller plane(leeter jet) and navigate off the instruments in there. Stay by his wing the whole time so u can show him how to navigate and stuff, let him land first, then u land and tell him a job well done.

btw ozzy, its a stall turn but u don't stall and u can tweak it a little bit to stop them from hitting u. Like spinning while going up or doing a corckscrew while going up. You may loose airspeed quicker, but so will he. Yeah doing a corkscrew straight up then doing a stall turn works.
