When you have practiced for a while, it is time to fly online.

• Learn the View system. Situation Awareness is the key to life online.
• If you've been practicing in easy mode offline, the aircraft handles very differently online when easy mode is disabled.
• Redouts and blackouts occur online. If your screen turns red or black you are pulling either too few or too many Gs.
• Don't fire on your own color (country), you'll only damage yourself if you hit. Your gun sight indicates your color (country).
• The Ack Weenies are the flak and antiaircraft fire from enemy gun positions.
• Ask for help. Everyone was a Recruit once, and you normally receive polite answers, particularly from pilots flying the same color.
• Use the Page Trainer option (Windows only, sorry Mac guys), but be patient. If someone doesn't answer you immediately the chances are they're in the middle of killing someone, perhaps you ;)
• Try to fly in a group. A lone pilot is easily picked on by enemies, with no one around to give warning.
