Why not join the Facebook SGAS fan page? Request entry, and you will get in. It's only set up to be private like that to keep it from filling with people who may be compelled to join without actually being interested. The link is in my signature.

Maybe before joining you should make a Facebook account with your SGAS CS, as many have done. But also many use their regular accounts.

Do you mean casual accelerometer or simulation control, i though most pros use simulation control right?
There's one thing i want to ask, do i need SG: Rise of Glory to unlock the A6M and RFU37, i cant find information about how to unlock them in the profile

Not sure about him, but I use simulation control (and I never use any of the shortcut moves, though that's partly because I forget and partly because I want the game to be as close to a real sim as possible).

Oh, yes, I use the simulation control. I'd forgotten the actual name. You can find out how to unlock each plane by going to the Profile section of the app. From there you can see all plane types, and if you tap on one it will say how to get it. In case you don't see the Zero (A6M), I do believe that that is one of the planes that is only unlocked if you have both Sky Gamblers Games (this and Rise of Glory). The other plane you get (if my memory works) is the A-10. And on the Rise of Glory side, you get a few planes as well for owning both Sky Gamblers games.

What the shortcut moves do is give you an increased chance of avoiding incoming missiles. That's it. They don't give you more maneuverability; you can use the normal simulation controls to do those moves. They merely increase the odds of a miss when you use them. They slow you way down, too, which means that if you rely on them too much you'll have a hard time keeping from slowing down to a crawl and getting downstroyed. So -- I use flares, terrain and buildings for avoiding incoming missiles until I'm out of flares, then I substitute the swipes for flares. I mean, I'll throw in a swipe here and there, too (like when I'm grabbing the flag, maybe), but otherwise I tend to fly without them.

Yeah, I've done those moves manually before in attempts at avoiding missiles. A few times they've worked. Maybe I'll give the swipe versions a shot. However, half the time I end up getting shot down by gunfire. And often when I'm out of flares, I'll get extra risky to sacrifice myself so I can get more flares (thus making things like runs for the flag easier). Actually, now that I think about it, do you get penalized for crashing? If not, I could just do that when out of flares to avoid giving someone the kill (a cheap way to go I know).

You do get penalty for crashing, you will get 1 negative point for Frag and get 1 point for Death (if you are fraged, you only get 1 point for Death), but i dont think it's much of a big deal, since the experience point you get when capture the flag is far surpass the penalty for crashing
I have a question here, do you have trouble aiming the machine gun when using simulation control, i can control my favorite rfu47 pretty well but find it incredibly hard to use the machine gun

To be sure, that is something that requires practice. Practice, practice, practice. The deadliest guys can whip their plane around after a head-to-head and just fill you full of lead. They know exactly how their plane is going to respond. The saw your plane's body language (as it were) and guessed where you'd be. They reacted swiftly, with a laser-sharp eye, lightning reflexes, and a soft, steady touch at the end like Jerry Rice catching the football. They led you perfectly and downstroyed you utterly. That requires practice.

So go practice, it's fun!
