No externals seems to be working out well, right guys? Certainly increasing the difficulty level, especially for anyone new to cockpit-only flying, plus making us work harder on SA. Now to convert my campaigns properly to No Externals.
Based upon the feedback here and during online sessions I intend to continue with No Externals with Historic Encounters. Feedback would be appreciated folks.

Some tips concerning take-off that I believe we all know. Unless you are up front, apply your brake, twist your rudder hard to the left/right, and rev your engine quickly to say 20% or so. This will turn your plane without moving it forward much, so you can see when the person in front of you has started takeoff procedures.
Alternatively, or in conjunction with this, try to remember the order in the formation, and as we did last night, indicate when you are rolling (unless Madcat is behind you then add a few extra seconds or else, you know ).
TS!
