That is a screenshot from a roughly three-minute wild ride down a mountain. I did it three or four times last night taking field supplies to help the Rooks keep a217. I decided to reproduce it on video:

For those who are interested, I topped out at 151 miles per hour and made two jumps over my 3000-foot descent.

I see; the FM of the GV's IS exceptionally realistic. Perhaps we could get the aircraft to come downhill at twice their "normal" speed too.

Great fun, eh wot?

I've done something similar. Take a Panzer up to around 80 mph downhill in neutral and it'll go zero-g (or close to it) over a crest. And yeah - its a lot of fun! I've tried to get an M8 that fast but I usually roll it trying to avoid trees.

Those "Loose Rivets" cartoons are hilarious!

do the controls on that halftrack freeze up? If so at what speed?

Meitis · « **Reply #8 on:** March 12, 2003, 07:22:36 PM »

I don't think gv controls freeze..

I was joking, referring to compression as high speed, like a P38
