I thought it might be a great idea to use my wacom tablet as a joystick. Problem was finding the middle, and it's extreme sensitivity. I lasted about 10 m. Most of those were downwards. 

That is amazing.

I think I managed to go 5m once. I tried landing right after takeoff and ended up flipping over somehow.

I managed to land once, got shot when I exited it though. I am decent at staying in the sky, aiming and killing things not so much and I usually get killed when trying to escape something.  The sensitivity needs to be higher for me, as I need to re-position my mouse several times when trying to turn around.

Like the tanks much more... one time went cross country and almost out of the map because I thought I was on the other side of the map...

My very first time in an aircraft was with my old computer. My FPS dropped to crap as soon as I spawned into the plane, and I died before I even got control.

My first time actually trying to fly with a decent FPS I didn't bother looking up the controls and was just figuring them out as I went. Thought Q and E might be roll. E. Splat.

I was fluffing about in a Reaver before the shutdown earlier, and much to my surprise I found myself flying quite gracefully, I could land as well with minimal damage to the craft too...
Though I doubt that I will be able to do any Dog Fighting sadly. Might look into being a GalPilot...

To yon pilots whom are terribadeth, thou can buyeth yon "auto-repair" for thine craft, it doth maketh yon life more easiereth.

In anycase, the only way you'll ever get good at flying is if you do it, just stick around your warpgate and pull spins and tricks and stunts. I must admit, the flying controls are awkward at start and are very very weird. However, the flight mechanics are relatively simple once you get a feel for your craft.

I can fly from A to B nowadays, but actual aiming and killing stuff... No. The Mosquito seemed easier to fly, though.

Mostly I land like this:

I'll just stay mediking i think.
Mainly because i sunk quite a few certs into that.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Mosquitos are boss, you don't need to sink that many cert points into flying (the mosquito atleast) to be able to effectively shoot stuff. If you have some spare air resources just spawn a moquito/reaver/scythe and fly.

I consider myself an ok reaver pilot, i usually have 2 tasks at mind, shoot other planes and make low flybys of friendly troops to increase the awsome factor.

[Siquo]

Do not underestimate the awesome-factor.

Speaking of which, the NC-loadingscreen theme song went from absolutely terrible to the best song of the three. I really love the C&C-style the new song has.

[Anvilfolk]

I think I liked the old one - wasn't it an industrial metal sort of affair?

[Paul]

Huh? I just tried to log in and got the message "Your account is not authorized to access the game at this time."

Are they having trouble with their servers?

[Urist McScoopbeard]

I've gotten the same, they may be having some server issues.

[ukulele]

Seems the engy turret is buged, the reticule doesnt aim where the bullets go, not even close, its a new one at least for the NC.
