A couple of Q's regarding RB3D for anyone willing to assist those of us who speak only broken computerese. I have the 3D version of the game, with none of the add-ons that are frequently referred to. I play the game (try to play is a better explanation) on a 300 MHz Pentium II, so I assume the computer is not the problem. If any additions are needed, please inform.

1. My planes do not seem very flyable; often they roam in exactly opposite orientation as directed. "Stable" planes such as the SE-5a and SPAD XIII seem to be the worst, but I dont have good control with any plane. Should I be sent back to the trenches, or are there some adjustments to be made to my settings?

2. What is the best site to visit to receive detailed explanations for playing the game?

3. Where does one find a list of locations for playing the game on-line? Haven't played in quite a while, and the last time I tried the link provided on the opening page of game no longer puts you into such an environment.

4. How do you overcome not being permitted to paint your plane in a campaign? How do you get access to a wider variety of paint schemes, i.e., how can you paint a plane in any way desired?

5. It is difficult to believe that WWI crates were as indestructible as the game makes them appear. Upon putting hundreds of rounds into an enemy plane while riding closely on its tail, the plane escapes as often as it goes down. Then, after one short burst from the guns of the same plane, I find that I have been killed in action. What gives?
