J5_Hotlead Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Sweet! If I ever flew a plane for real, that would be what I'd want to fly! Quote
Barton Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 God, he must be a pro. How did he keep it out of a spin all that time? -Hawkeye- and Klaiber 2 Quote
Lipfert Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Barton, I have met Kermit, he is very much a Pro ! S! Quote

-Hawkeye- Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 First thought was "he didn't buy the guage pack?" Notice he did have the water temp thermometer, though? Remember RoF before they even HAD extra equipment? I never could figure out how they expected you to regulate the temp properly, that way, especially with no physical feedback from the airplane in a computer sim. The magazine for the left gun didn't look like ours, did it? Quote
Rotermann Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 That was bad ass. I think he's a recent graduate of the BlackFalcon school of aeronautics which would explain why going into a spin was never an issue. Quote

The magazine for the left gun didn't look like ours, did it? There was one plane that did not have a compass.... I think it was a Nieuport. Some did not have altimeters, I guess it took a little while to see what was really needed and what wasn't. Quote

Vonrd Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 Lotsa oil on the windscreen even after a few minutes. Even a few blobs on his goggles. Maybe the oil modeling in the game actually is correct (perhaps a bit dark in the game though) it really does mess your vision. Quote
Barton Posted February 25, 2016 Report Posted February 25, 2016 I always thought it was fairly accurate but I wish you could hide under the windscreen to avoid it getting on your goggles. And it never really appears on the windscreen itself either. J5_Hotlead and Stuka 2 Quote
