Learning to Pilot
VomAct:
To go back to your original question, just try different things. I found the best way to learn to fly was to actually crew on some very experienced captains' ships and just payed attention to what they did. But here are a few general tips for those interested in breaking into flying.
> Start off with your pilot tools as Kerosene, Phoenix Claw, and Hydrogen. Use your crew for spotting.
> Start with Goldfish, Junker, or Squid with wide-arc guns (gatlings, banshees, flamethrowers, artemi, carronades, or flares)
> Canyon Ambush and Firnfeld are the two easiest maps to learn flying on because the terrain is mild but there is still decent cover
> As a pilot, you have 2 jobs: Job 1, point guns at enemy; Job 2, avoid getting killed. Everything you do is to accomplish one of these two things.
Now of course there is all the other stuff that goes along with piloting, like crew loadouts and communication. Basically, have recommended loadouts ready or you will end up with very strange things. Communicate with your crew and allied captain. You don't have to rebind your keys that much, but I suggest changing map to something more convenient (I use MMB).

Im' still a beginer pilot, but I still practice in a way:
To try out a ship, I go on practice mode and park really close to eg. a rib or some other obstacle that doesn't move.
then I take a flight and try to make some manouvers, after which I try to park the ship in the same exact spot.
Helps you to learn about ship's momentum, speed and a that.
Of COURSE it all goes to hell when I'm being shot by two fishes with hwatcha and the crew screams at me and I panic....
But THAT part of training you have to go through with your crew in the matches ;P
Schwalbe:
...you really practice like that in a regular chat and not in practice mode? (you made such an implication in your post)
