Requiem's Air Combat Tutorial Library (Updated 12 Jan 2023)
By Requiem
I am a real life airline pilot and flight instructor who creates tutorials covering general flight and air combat. They show these concepts in an easy way to improve your knowledge and skills, so you can subscribe to my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/RequiemBoS in order to get the latest updates from me directly.

The easiest way to reach me is to join my discord channel here: https://discord.gg/rPQCjch
Another way is by email: requiemsactl@hotmail.com
I also started a Patreon for those that are interested as well: https://www.patreon.com/RequiemsACTL

I am always trying to add to these tutorials to cover everything you need to know. This way they not only help you get you started with flying, but as you progress in skill level you can begin learning beyond that into some of the more advanced air combat concepts. I've broken down the topics of my tutorials into the following:

1) Principles of Flight
2) Complex Engine Management
3) Air to Air Gunnery
4) Basic Fighter Maneuvering (BFM)
5) Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM)
6) Ground Attack Techniques
7) Multiplayer Livestreams

I hope you enjoy the guide and look forward to seeing you in the multiplayer skies. If this guide helped you please use the rate button below, or if there is something you want a tutorial on please don't hesitate to contact me.

TrackIR Profile
TrackIR is a device used to translate your head movement out of game to move the pilots head within the game instead of using a mouse or joystick POV hat. It is a great device to look around with and really adds to immersion while flying, and you can see examples of how this device works throughout my videos.

My personal TrackIR profile is pretty popular, so if you want to give it a go you can find it in this thread on the official forums:
