Does this sim have a tutorial to teach all the nuances? Thanks for the information.

BOBII has no tutorials. It does have some training missions and a Users Guide. Here is the User Guide so you can look it over:

The game has a learning curve even for the very experienced flight simulation players (100's of features and options with over 200 key commands) so controlling the game takes some time and effort. The features are explained in the Users Manual (located in the BOBII folder in the Docs folder) for the GUI (Graphic User's Interface), options in appendix A, and Keys in Appendix H. You will need to scan and read the User Manual.

Take you time as BOBII is more of a hobby (if interested) than a simple game. We like to  think of BOBII as  "The BOB Time Machine" where you can get the closest feeling possible to a real life BOB pilot fighting in the BOB  that any simulation can provide.

Yes, tutorial and a Newbie Guide would be outstanding but the game is being maintained and update by an all unpaid volunteer group called BDG (see other sticky threads for BDG information). We do not have the people to do another document. Most all information about the game is in the Users Manual but I do agree the information is not directed at the new flight Simulation player. Actually, all Flight Simulation games are that way in my experience.
