Random failures

[LCADolby]

I wear a leather jacket and boots only for the sake of immersion.  and when I say only, i mean that's the only thing I wear.  feel free to add goggles and leather mask and look like a gimp for the sake of immersion if you want.

Thanks semp for your fashion tips, much appreciated, but I think I'll stick to my customary Shirt and Jeans. I'll occasionally slip on jumper if it gets chilly, never needed a mask and goggles at 4k in a c152 though.

you will never know the joy of killing another fellow player while you are touching only leather.  it feels like victory.

dolby we arent actually pilots, we just pretend to be one.  adding more crap just for the sake of pushing buttons is gonna further reduce the player base.  most of us in here dont even use trim,  it could help, but to be honest I dont really care to learn.  I dont come here to learn the intricacies of the internal combustion engine.  I am just here to aim and shoot.

Also a keyboard is a poor substitute for real-life engine controls.  No thanks.  It is fine as is.

You have essentially said in every follow on post that having flown a B24 gives you free reign to be a dick.
Completely sweeping under the carpet that everyone is "brain dead" for making mistakes and that he only has "brain farts" for his mistakes. There is no dysfunction from my end, only the hypocrisy of his and the opportunist "free jab at Dolby" of yours.
bustr I have not once tried to point out or show I am superior to anyone, I can easily debunk anything you wish to provide in evidence of such.

Colombo is right.  You are wrong.

Lose the attitude.    It isn't helping.

Of course this has everything to do with having the systems there to add to the immersion of flying or my enjoyment of having them present in another game I fly within. I should have known better that I have no right, being that I am not a pilot, for daring to adjust a wish for more immersion. 

Map some keys that don't do anything and label them as Cowl Flaps, Mixture, etc., then bang away at them to your satisfaction.      Problem solved.

You're a day late and a dollar short Vraciu.

Yeah, that makes sense.

The closest to a Ww2 aircraft i've flown was an AN-2 (from the right seat).

I'm used to the simplicity of an ultralight plane, really hard work compared.



In IL2 Cliff of Dover I had to learn no to over-speed that darn engine in the 109s when diving, and also set proper prop pitch during the flight in the early 109s.

bortas,

Get a friend, go into the DA and let him shoot at you in all of those planes using the planes I tested with. If you want rubber bullets, open two CMD windows and set off a ping in each window. One to your router and one to your local PC, localhost.

ping -t address

Use ctrl c to stop when you are done.

If that causes the dreaded udp\tcp message and disco, turn off the ping to your PC and run only the one to your router. Run multiple instances of ping to your router then if needed to duplicate a bad connection. Reduce the number when you force a disco. A congested or bad connection is a congested or bad connection........ Don'tcha think......

what?

It would be cool to have random failures. Something just out of the blue, not often.

You just had one...With this thread.

I see what you did there.

people need to be more concerned with what ACM they are about to pull on the un-suspecting con than worrying how quickly their engine will overheat when they extend to run. 

That being said It might be quite funny seeing guys engine quit for running too hard.  But you said random failures which would suck balls!

In the heat of battle its very easy to make a, what I consider, small mistake regarding all those you consider being brain dead not to notice. That's unfortunate, I thought you might have listed inaccuracies in il2BoS engine management and failures. Do you have anything worth reading at your finger tips?

If you want a flight sim that does a good job of modeling engine management is Rise of Flight.  In that flight sim, the developers modeled the thermodynamics on an engine and does a decent job of it.
