I pull mine when I'm just about to lawn dart.

As an aside, I like to stay with it long enough to get a fellow country mate of the offending pilot's country to try and steal a kill as I flounder to the ground.  Nothing like a little resentment in the enemy camp to easy my brused ego :D

Doesn't bailing count the same as a death?   I bail once in a while once my plane is destroyed..not sure why.  How does bailing as opposed to augering in affect score? I am under the assumption that it doesn't help at all.

I'm not sure either, but I think they are counted differently...

Very well said .

I've only bailed out on accident :mad:  And when I wanted to walk around the runway with my little dude . Oh and the time we parachuted onto the giant pizza next to the shinerbock .

LOL .. I didn't even know it "helped" someone's points. Thanks, Todd. Now I got even more reason than getting one or two proximity kills from the guys trying so hard to get my chute that they auger in. Funny as hell watchin' `em spray away, zoom past, bury their plane then type "Huhuhu I crashded" on Ch 1. Two thumbs up. :D

I also fly as full realism as possible. I dont just point her downwards and cheer and wave my cowboy hat as I ride her in, I try to land my kills.

The only chutes I shoot are goon troops. Good fun for an M16 all alone on a base that I let get beat up for a while. Then a lone goon shows up, and I open her wide up :D

I don't need  to use the trim.

I've got a Microsoft Force Feedback 2. In the "Force" - settings, i,ve adjusted the "Return-to-center tension" to the lowest level.
 Now when my plane wants to go up, i just move my stick a bit forwards, and keep on flying.

So i don't have to adjust trim in flight at all...:D
