You find unusual things to do when boredom sets in. Like this...

I've done it in a SpitVII before everytime I try that in a 38 I go boom

Love the 163...but...have you noticed the turbine on the nose stops when you shut off the engine like a prop would?

it had a small propeller on the nose to run the generator to run the electronics. it was just a free spinning one, and the airflow powered it

I like to grab a plane and see how long I can fly around with one part dragging on the ground. I'm easily amused when my ISP dies.

thx for the explanation

So the pilot had no electronics or light until they took some speed ?

At some point with a spit (EDIT : in other planes also...ok am a spit dweeb) you can end doing a sideway landing with no gear, first time I did it was on MA and I had no choice

I tried to do it in a town lately because I thougt the builds were gonna stop me on the concrete, But I just went thru them, and ended up ditching on the soft grass of my own town !!!!

Go offline and turn the wind up with a big updraft. You can fly like a helicopter even with the power off.

is it boredome or curiosity that makes us do these things?

fuzeman · « **Reply #11 on:** April 03, 2007, 05:48:02 PM »

Now that I can't pick on the mega-stupid-heads in the TA I have to amuse myself somehow.

Hubs,you are not the only one.

I remember before Ah, i played ww2 fighters, and you could* survive very** hard belly slams into the ground,if you pulled too low of a roll,you could hit your belly and jack your planes airframe up.
Never have i been able to do this in aceshigh "1"

To my dismay a few nights ago i did manage to have enough angel to get my prop over the "damage" point of angle...only to slap my rear into the ground,i lost my rudder and damaged my 47's elivator aswell.
Anyhow, something that has pissed me off for years, is finaly doable..dunno if maby its just me or the game.
ither way, i love it.

"com'on baby..com'om......SLAM!.....weeee..im alive..my engines still runing...yeeeeHAAH!"

I like beer.
