Damaged or pilot wounded....lose your map
« on: February 16, 2012, 02:36:50 PM »
I had this happen a couple times in FSO due to some kind of bug. I could not bring up my map no matter what I did. It made the attempted return to base very hard, with a high pucker factor. Found it pretty challenging and fun also.  :cheers:

I made a post a while back the first time it happened.

But no what happens is my map key sent me to the desktop. I could get back still in flight, but could not use my keys at all. I could hear vox but could not type or transmit. Every key was dead except the key for the map, that one sent you out of the game.  :D It has not happened again for 2-3 months.

But what was cool was the sense of being lost and no way to communicate, or tell where you were. I caught sight of a dot  and followed it home.  :cheers:
