HiTech,

Maybe a Jeep with a towbar and winch could be modeled to tow "ditched" airplanes back onto the runway! LOL

Oooo, oooo and one with cup holders and an umbrella for a few perks.  I'll just sit at the end of the runway drinking cold ones in the shade waiting for people to bounce and skid off the runway....

righty

ROFL!  Of course HiTech has a sense of humour.... only last night in the MA there was a collective gasp when in answer to someone asking what to press for auto-land, he replied "isn't it Alt-F4?" :aok  :D

How about a point multiplier change. When you land on runway nothing changes, when you land on the field "or set distance from runway" you still land your kills, you still get your name in lights, but the multiplier changes to a lesser value and your perk points are slightly lower.

Technically, you aren't supposed to stop and get out of your aircraft on the runway but really you are supposed to end up *off* the runway and shut down.  Seems they do have it backwards anyway.

As it is, you f----d up your landing, you f----d up your score.  Would you like some bread and cheese with that?  


btw if your gear is damaged, dont use it and slide in full flaps as slow as she will go.


     You might want to take a closer look at WW2 fields, especially
the earlier ones.  Large grass squares were not uncommon, and
they had several advantages...not the least of which is fewer
crosswind landings.

     The switch to paved strips was mostly due to larger, heavier
aircraft later on in the war.  Grass still proved very useful to
fighter types though.

The large landing squares were called "landing mats".

The primary training fields that my father used in Texas were a mile square. He said you just pointed into the wind and tried to stay out of each other's way. There'd be dozens of planes using the mat at one time.

There we are ergRTC,

...been a long time since I saw the old Compy 286...first computer I had.  Thought it was cool to play "Harpoon"

Had to upgrade to play "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe" and BoB.

Brought the old boy out  to play AHII, works great, just knocked the cobwebs off, and ready to go.  They just don't build 'em like they used to...

You can taxi to a hangar if your want.  Parking your plane on any paved surface counts as a landing, any unpaved surface counts as a ditch.

How about if you could land then get out and walk to the runway. You would still land your kills the multiplier would change to a value to reflect that you had ditched, but add a small percentage to the total for the walk back to base.

On top of all that it would say on the game kill message channel something like " XXXXX landed 2 kills, ditched and walked his sorry oscar back to base."
