I love this sim! Still learning the nuances of the Camel but figured I'd share some of my early attempts (at landing!)

LOL Landing? I am still trying to take off. About a 1 in 3 success ratio.
One or the other wing dips right after I rotate and boom (My plane has been criticlly damaged).
The Camel and DR1 are the worst for that at least with me.

Rudder is the key, esp in the Dr.1, bit of bank in and use rudder to turn it so you don't need as much elevator. Spinning is fun!

*EDIT Unless you are in combat lol then rudder turns aren't up to it

Got the Camel last night together with the Dr.1, D.VIIF and the SE.5a; seems like a very maneuvrable aircraft but during my first fight my engine died (Think I overstressed it) and I had to make an emergency landing. Ended up upside down..

Lol I'm not brave enough to turn off the RPM limiter yet, but IIRC it cuts in at 1500 RPM so there's about your maximum I guess!
