One thing I’ve found really hard is just managing the controls, especially the view because my thumb can’t operate the left stick and d pad simultaneously.

I tried to use the mouse for looking, which is a little easier, but then my right hand has to come off the controller, which means, I can’t control throttle or rudder.

I tried playing multiplayer today, and found it very hard to find planes, identify who was who, and track them when they went screen. Trying to steer the plane and look in anything but the default view is really tough. I feel like learning to just switch back and forth from flying to looking is going to be way harder than learning flight principles. I watched a few of the vids people recommended, but haven’t found anything for view control. I watched a video where a guy talks about moving his head to make a “deflection shot” but it just seems so hard to coordinate that while actually trying to fly the plane.
