No, it isn't.

Does it say: "Engine shut off" anywhere? ;)

Burn multiplier @0 so GPH should be 0, shouldn't it?
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Is E6B lying  :noid?

Lusche has fuel burn set to the lowest setting - way to keep fuel weight fixed for flight testing purposes.  Screws with the E6B readings when you do that though.

The Brewster surprisingly dives really well and stays pretty maneuverable at high speeds, just be careful to not rip off the wings.

Okay, I am seriously loving Zack's little side comments that everyone seem to be ignoring.

That is probably the best use of the :old: smiley I have ever seen...

Perk Zack!!! :noid

The Brewster is aptly named.  Just like in real life, you ignore it at your peril.

Heh.  Buffalo are dangerous, they're very agile and can be fast especially on the downslope.

Y'know, it's got to be one of two things-  Either Nate is trolling at this point, or he still doesn't get how it could happen.  Since I haven't seen anyone spell it out exactly, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and explain how it could happen.

Nate-  Aircraft top speeds are not like you might think of the top speed in a car.  A car will reach its top speed and there's not much you can do to increase that.

However, an airplane's top speed is measured by going level until the plane attains its maximum speed at that altitude.  If you push the nose down so that gravity is helping the plane along by pulling it down, it can go faster than its rated top speed.  The Brewster is also very good at keeping this extra speed for a long while after going level unless you maneuver in it.  That is most likely how he caught you.

No magic, no hax.  Just gravity.

Wiley.
