Immelmann turns

[Bluevoss]

For people who like flying this sim but don't know much about aerobatics, one trick you can actually use in this game is the Immelmann turn. You ever fly into someplace and suddenly realize it's a box canyon? Or you've got a huge blank wall ahead of you?

Lug back on your stick - HARD! As your speed drops off (your little man gets closer to you) throw the stick all the way over, left or right (as a rule, I always steer towards the outside of the rock if possible). Your man is going to shoot up a good distance and as he stalls, he'll come around 180 degrees in a tight turn. Soon as you are around, stick forward to get the speed up - and look for open ground below you to extend your dive. Even if you can't recover immediatly, you might spot a shaft or hole and drop through that.

I've found this particularly useful on those new maps where you start with a broad blank cliff in front of you.

I tried that in Hell (Map Seed) and after turning all my "body parts" where flapping around and crashed in walls far away from me.

Also without involved engine stall and disrupted airflow, youre not about to scream :D
