A night where you just suck. I mean you cant hit squat and your flying with all the skill of the drones in the off-line mode?

Hell...I even ran outta G(*Damn BEER!

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

Been there often.
Just the other night in fact.
I had one sortie that was going well and I bailed.  No idea how it happened.  Flyin along and all of a sudden I'm in a chute.

eskimo,

Were you closing on a P-51D that had just started to zoomed climb?

I had an La-7 that was gaining on me do that last night.  I was watching the La-7 get closer, getting ready to try to turn fight 'cause I wasn't gonna outrun it when <POOF> it turn into a chute.

Was in a C-47

About once a month I have an unexplained bail.  I think that I may have a sticky keyboard and after hitting Enter, it may repeat several times.
Veiws also get stuck - Hard to fight when all you can see is your seat or right wing, lol.

Seems that starting a new tour makes me suck.  Something about trying to "fly smarter this tour" makes me fly dumber...  Go figure.

Eskimo, Remap bail key to shift Enter = no more unplanned exits!

As for bad nights, heck I've had bad tours!
This has  started out lousy for me, remains to be seen if I can pull my act together.

Nope, I'm pretty much the same every night, sorta like the flatline on a EKG.

The best thing about having so low a level of expectations for myself is I'm rarely disappointed  :D

Best part is, if you plan on being a complete and total failure, and actually manage to shoot someone down, you're pleasently surprised   :cool:
