| Everything on highest, excluding landscape detail, which I leave on Excellent as Perfect ruins my performance and stutters... (I have an Fx5200 128mb) Technically, I can fly alright, but when shots break out, the hell that breaks loose is doubled; the regular chaos is doubled by the chaotic lag! |

I'll also have to read Neo's guide to running perfect. I don't know if it'll really help me, though. I have an ancient GeForce2 Ti.  | |

| Well, I've actually landed successfully first try with all planes except the Val... Then again, I've only tried three planes... I'd say the Dauntless is most likely the easiest to land in, due to those ENORMOUS "Swiss Cheese" brakes... *Edit*-To answer your question, all you have to do is assign a command for "Toggle Speed Bar," that way you can toggle between Metric, KIAS (Knots Indicated Airspeed), and Imperial; I use ctrl+s. |

| The closest Ive come to a successful carrier landing was in a P-38   But the nose wheel tipped over the edge just as i was about to come to a stop and it all went kaput  |

| British carriers are too small! Ok, here's the story... I saw the "Master_Landing" track included in the game and decided to give it a shot, and got near successful, catching an early/late wire (early for me, landing from the front, but late for those landing the correct way), but was going too fast and flew off the stern! Anyway, Wildcats are hard to land, due to the fact that they're hard to slow down! |
