Guys, I've not long sat this.
Best bit of advice I can give is just to move the joystick in the direction of the crosshair, if it moves towards the top left, move the stick forward and left. It's probably more of a disadvantage to those who've flown before.
I'm going to put a detailed post up here v shortly which will hopefully explain a bit more about the whole thing and Jerez.
It's nothing to worry about, you get better by the 3rd time you do it and that's what they're looking for.
Gavin
