I can`t figure out how to fly the planes using padlock. the stick seems usless,everyone seems to think its the best way to go but, I can`t seem to figure it out. Is there a trick to it?

There's several.

The 'Brit-Window' (named after EURO_ACBrit1, my old C.O.), which I showed you this morning, is the best one I've found.

I used to have a page on my website about the Brit-Window. I'll see if I can find the files and re-load it all. These are buried deep on my computer and the page will not be re-appearing any time soon (lolol).

Ur welcome.
I must agree.
My online game has been much enhanced since installing XP, although (to be fair) it used to be on ME which was BSOD hell.

I know flying in padock mode is a bit weird at the start, but it's really usefull once you've mastered it.

The best way to learn is practice. Get a feel for the plane. Know how fast it pitches, rolls and/or yaws when you move the stick into a certain position.

Here you go 'ferlin'.
I've begun to rebuild MY SITE which now includes a CFS1 page. It links to the old EURO article on using their version of padlock (Brit-window), as well as some other stuff.
I have used this for almost the whole 5 years I've played CFS1 and would find it very (if not impossible) to fly without it now.
It took me about 3 months to get back to the standard I was at before I started using it (which wasn't good, lol) though. It takes a lot of familiarisation practise.
