Charles has arrived at Filescamp checking in on his first squadron assignment.
As you land, your mechanic notices that the blip switch on your Nieuport seems to be broken and gets to work right away on a fix. Your new squadmates secretly wonder if he will also wash the unsightly blue graffiti off the bottom of the upper left wing. (sorry, couldn't resist, heh heh)

Dear Mother, I have arrived here at my squadron. All is well. My fellow pilots seem like a good bunch of chaps. One of them must be pretty good as he has his plane painted in the most beautiful manner. We are to have a few days of practice before getting down to business. We are told we will fly our first real mission on Saturday. Don't worry about me, I will be fine. Give my love to all. Your Son, Rafe

This is also where I will give my standard "try lowering your joystick sensitivity settings in the workshops" advice. It really helped me with the whole wing issue. Also, check out this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUT41bXgOZoIt's using a N23 instead of the 17, but you can still get a sense of what they can do.

I'll probably kick myself when I see it, but can you point me the spot this resides in the workshops Rick? Seems like a useful setting to play with. Thanks!

I'm on my kindle right now so I can't say for sure. It's something like you click on one of the joystick settings and it opens up some new options that weren't there before. Maybe someone else can explain or screenshot it before I get home, otherwise I'll post a better description when I can...

Well, so far in two campaign test flights I've died twice. The second time I took half of my flight with me.
Oh well. You only die once. I'm in! Nice! You'll fit in well! We tend to live fast and die fast, but everyone is in the same boat...watch everyone else's videos, check out their screenshots, read their reports and you should find your flying improving a lot! I always learn a bunch from these!

There you go: Re Map Keys/Controllers, Axis X (for example), Advanced. Try dropping down the scale a bit and see if that helps. Increasing the null zone a pinch can also help with accuracy in shooting.
