Serenity, what airplanes do you fly in real life that require flaps for takeoff?  Are you a carrier pilot?

lol. I know which one. Like it shows, I knew the second those shots started pinging me, I would never see the end of that film... All that confirms is that I royally suck at fighters.

No benny, I fly gliders, but we find we get best effiency on auto-tow with the lark if we drop 10 degrees of flaps (as it says in the manual). But I almost always fly heavy, meaning a drop tank, because all of the fighters I fly are gas guzzlers, and even if I dont, I put out flaps because my flights with CAP have directed that 1-2 flap settings are good for takeoff regardless of weight situation. Weight only desides if flaps should be extended farther.

everyone has fun different ways...... i do that check where u move all control services while im bored waiting for everyone else to spawn on runway.....lol

i only ever run at wep power once in a fight...... where as before i would use wep to GET to the fight faster.



more realism is "cool" but can be too extreme too.... engine overheat would be cool for the likes of TOD, but messing around in MA? no thanks....
