Hey hey!

We've had a pretty steady stream of chat requests on the server from players who are perhaps unfamiliar with expert settings; taxi to take-off, and figuring out how to get around on the map.

Once you get out of the radar ring of a friendly field, it's all you (Don't worry, it's still WAY, WAY easier than actual WW2 pilots had it!)

First off, a good map if you want to plan your route out with compassing headings:

Use the waypoints in the upper right.

I've thrown together a stream where I run through the basics.  This is absolute beginner level stuff here, crude but effective, if you're good at taxiing, skip to ~5:00 to get straight to dead reckoning to find your way around.
