Right after take-off, at full throttle, I fly flat and level until above 450mph, then auto-climb between 10-12,000ft depending on if I'm going after high bombers. Much better fuel economy at alt. Once at altitude, level off, open E6B file and throttle back to keep speed above 400-425ish and fuel consumption as low as possible. Then I check the E6B, a lot, especially in the last 2 minutes. If far from home, auto climb at full throttle with 1 min remaining, then set auto-climb speed at 175-200 and glide home. If bad guys in the area glide as fast as possible to still make it home.  :old:  :airplane:

GPH does not change based on alt.

Milkin' the mileage; keeping the undercarriage while in flight; and re-armin'/re-fuelin' the me162 is in fact gaming the game at its best.  To each his own, no doubt.  but to argue that it "is not" and then to list the items you did seem a bit hypocritical, no?   

You must not have a HOTAS setup.

? No, of course not. However thinner air requires less throttle to maintain the same speed, hence less GPH d/t lower throttle settings. Not lower GPH at same throttle setting, Right? Not what I said.  :old:

Well, the wording got tricky....  "Fuel Economy" made me immediately think about GPH.  But yes, 100% agree with you, the speed factor up top is far better than the dense air down below.   :salute

What do you mean?  Like someone flew their 163 three sectors from a 163 base and landed it?  That's not difficult at all, a mere 75 miles is nothing when you are traveling at that speed. Are you making the assumption that the 163 has to land at the same base it took off from?  You can use the throttle to decease fuel consumption in the 163 just like any other birds.  The 163 can glide pretty good, so you could shut the engine off and glide a fair distance.

He meant the 163 would run out of fuel quickly. Yet at the same time it isn't a skill its a mater of velocity, throttle, and a little luck not "skill". So if you do it right its pretty easy.

ha ha no errors! :D

The question is, IRL, why would you?

You can't steer.  You have no brakes.  Would you land an A/C with no brakes when your life was on the line?



IIRC, one of the dolly issues was it bouncing up and taking out the plane after it was released.

So was landing to hard on the first shot (without a small bounce first) to pre-compress the piston/spring on the skid.  It resulted in a number of pilots suffering from a broken back.

There's still no brakes even if the dolly's off.   :D

And yes, the bouncing dolly on release was a potential problem.  Speaking of bouncing Dolly...  ;)

Take off, stay at 200mph, rearm.

Brakes = Friction.

Landing skid = brakes.

more or less.

Are you sure about that?  I spotted at least 3 right off the bat.
