Very simple go into the quick mission builder and setup whatever you wnat to fight and fight with.

Then start the mission. hit Esc, make and save video file then back into mission. Turn on the "T" wingtip smoke for player.

Then get with it, and fly the mission.

Then turn off video when you finish.

Now.. replay video using outside views and track yourself by outside views. You cna push in and out and push the mouse button and zoom in and out on the video. I belive the outside view keystroke is Shift F2 .

Anyway, watch the video and what you are doing. You can also jump around into the enemy that shot you down and see what you did.

The important thing is... The wingtip smoke will help you keep track of yourself and better get a feel for how you are manuevering.

One thing you'll learn for sure. The slip ball is critical to good shooting. Most newbs don't get it for along time.

This will jumpstart you into knowing and seeing your mistakes.

There are a couple good books on aircombat filying and I think there is a good ebook for free. You might google it.

Good luck
