Wish: Keep the instruments visible.

hate to break it to you but, it's nothing like looking at the asi while in a fight...in the ah world, people pull til they have nothing but a little circle of light against a black background while trying to keep their eyes on the enemy they are fighting and the air around them...those that don't get shot down.

LMAO. The last refuge of the out-argued...

My seconds will get in touch with your seconds, K'? bye.

ya, you just keep looking around for the accelerometer while you have someone on your six shooting at you...

Thanks, you keep trying too. Maybe you'll work your way up to a 100 total kills next tour :-)

Interesting, I figured the airflow would not be enough when guys usually shut their engines off (150-200 kts) to restart them.  I imagine the force required to do so would be pretty good on 1,600 cubic inch engines. 

they will keep turning till very slow, well under 100mph at least (i'm thinkin even below stall speed). the propeller has tremendous leverage, I've read of being able to bend a crankshaft by turning the prop by hand on a big radial that has oil leaked down into one of the combustion chambers.

i'll have you know i have more kills than that...over 3 tours    

i'm just a piss poor shot...from any distance...has nothing to do with not being able to see the g-meter. i'm willing to bet no more than 10% of the people in the arenas either know there is a g-meter, understand what it's for or pay attention to it.

Looking through topic I have found out there was a G-meter. Also, I'm not a good shot that doesn't have to do with the G-meter either.

look at gmeter or look at enemy con in turn fight mmm hard to make a choice.

there's not one plane where I cannot see the ammo counter.   me I only look at the instrument panel for speed.  boost I can hear the engine when wep is on.  I can tell when flaps are on because of plane behavior and because I remember how many notches I press.


krusty they're right you will argue the little things to death except when its convenient to you.

things are fine the way they are.

I think his problem is that many planes have airspeed and altimeter gauges that are not visible in the default head position and that you have to move from default position to see them.

Pffff....instruments are for flying in thick cloud only.

That may perhaps be true. Perhaps only 1% of them know the most energy efficient way to accelerate or slow deceleration is to unload the plane to 0G, or that a plane's roll rate will increase when unloaded to 0G. This does not keep it from being true. And without your butt being in the seat, you will never learn the stick inputs that lead to a given G-loading unless you have a reference to glance out.

Speaking of accuracy, its easier to hit the target on snapshots when you aren't pulling Gs.

[AWwrgwy]

what cloud

Exactly.
