Help. Please, i don't know how to control aircraft on the ground. Which key's to hit. When i turn rudder, nothing helps, and i can't see in game settings (input) what to use.

Also, when i press Q, Su27 throw flares. Are these IC decoys or radar decoys (chaft), or both. If they are flares, how to change them to chaft, and why Su27 have only four of them. As i noticed, american aircraft have much more (AI aircrafts).

Sorry if my English is not so good.

Rudder steers the aircraft on the ground. If you want to know which keys do what, check your LockOn/Doc folder. There's a keychart there.

Flares are for IR missiles, Chaff for radar missiles.

Thanks. The problem was that i was using rudder control on the joystick, and not the X, Z buttons on keyboard. Now, it works fine. Next question is, can i change chaff and flares, or they are launched both at a time. Thanks to the ironhand (i think that is the name), i have started to evade succesfully AMRAAMs. Can someone tell me a tip of avoiding short range missiles? Does the flares do the job or some extra manouvering need to be done?

Yes, you can fire them independantly of each other.

The trick to short range (IR) missiles is when you're in range to get fired on start putting out flares, if you can't script an auto-release with your joystick software then use auto chaff/flare. If the flares are already out when the IR missile is fired, most of the time the IR missile will go for the flares. You'd use the same manuevering to avoid short range missiles as you do AMRAAMs, except that you have much less time to trash them.
