plane needs new plugs? bad fuel?
« on: June 10, 2004, 03:13:40 PM »
Hey, if a la7 caught a spit  yesterday, but the spit out ran the la7 today...... could it be they have programed the bad fuel day or maybe a newbie mechanic did a crapy tune up?  or those varibles are not included in the game? if not they should be!!   because im sure back in the day not all planes did or ran as good as they were suposed too.. like go-karts at the fun park, you always get the fast one?  helk no!!  lmao!!  you know,... that you and the rest of us never get the fastest go-kart, its that little bastage that always gets it,,,,  and the  bastage rams us and runs off , while we are saying hey wtf!!  the guy that weighs 500lbs even gets the faster go-kart,,   so next time your fast plane is spanked... remember  blame it on the gas or the freaking mech!!!!!!    not cheating,  hacking, no messing with a connection... its the GAS or the MECH    ......... lol  ;p

LOL Tactic... I got some bad fuel a few days ago... tried to vulch a P38 that just took off with my P51... overshot of course, was going 350 or so... and kept extending, was 2K away when he started... gasp... CLOSING on me. I went full WEP, kept extending until he caught me. Hard for me to understand really. After shooting me down he claimed I was warpy. He wasn't warpy to me at all. When he was taking off I he was going less than 1/2 the speed of me, yet he caught me in pretty short order. I'm sure it must have had something to do with connection burps, but none-the-less... was quite suprising to me.

As you said... he must have had one heck of a mechanic.

If like me you mapped rpm on a rotary check before take off if it's set at max.
