01 / THE GUIDE
Controller Familiarization
Begin with the InterLink DX to experience the default mappings, then switch to a generic gamepad. Compare response times and note any latency differences that affect precision during basic maneuvers.
- Use the built‑in editor to adjust control surface settings for a custom feel.
- Check the Steam DLC schedule for upcoming aircraft additions.

Aircraft Tuning
Select a beginner airplane and adjust its control surface settings in the editor. Fly the same model after each tweak to observe how changes impact stability and maneuverability.
- Use the PhotoField editor to recreate a favorite real‑world field.
- Combine site edits with aircraft tweaks for scenario‑specific practice.
03 / THE GUIDE
Site Exploration
Visit three distinct PhotoFields, noting terrain variations and obstacle placement. Practice a standard take‑off and landing sequence at each location to understand environmental effects.
- Start with the InterLink® DX for plug‑and‑play simplicity.
- If using a gamepad, verify axis mapping in the controller menu.

Challenge Progression
Complete the first three built‑in challenges, recording your scores. Identify which maneuvers cause the most difficulty and focus practice on those specific skills.
- Join community matches to gauge your skill against varied pilots.
- Review challenge scores to identify areas for improvement.
05 / THE GUIDE
VR Immersion Test
Run a short flight in VR, then repeat the same flight in standard mode. Compare depth perception and control confidence, adjusting headset settings for comfort as needed.
- Calibrate headset tracking before each session for optimal comfort.
- Start with a moderate field of view to reduce motion sickness.
