Here I am at work trying hard to remember something in AH that had an immersive quility to it... yet Slapshots animated Avatar two posts up from mine makes it absolutely impossible to think about anything sensible at all.

Guess I'll just sit here in front of the monitor and watch that loop untill someone tells me it's time to go home... :)

When your toodling along and run into a badguy. Then for the next four or five minutes you both experience the "fight" which can't be explained to someone that doesn't fly sims.


   Yea.Thats the ticket.When ya get into a prolonged 1 on 1 and just barely kill the guy knowing it could have just as easily been you.And he knows it too.  That is the best one :) :)

Agree completely!

Here's another one.

Trying to land a wounded plane (or pilot) especially after a successful mission. Had this happen in one of the 1st friday TOD's I ever flew.

Bounced a Fw190 in my Jug, then got bounced. Had a wounded pilot and a way's to go to a friendly field. Blacking out, looking for enemy, getting a scort from a squadmate... it was awesome!

* NOE mission with your entire squad flying formation trying to get deep into enemy territory without being detected

* Being that lone hidden goonie praying your squaddies and extras are keeping every airborne bogie busy enough to not notice you sneaking over the city before its too late

* Giving/Receiving the after a well fought hard battle with a worthy opponent

Another fun one to try is the "silent bounce."   Just cut the motor and dive in... They don't even hear it coming. :)

Going up on squad night with the DHBG in a tight formation of B-17's and being escorted by the 367th.  

Getting my formation assignment from while we climb to altitude.

Trying to stay so close to bomber wing that someone could walk from bomber to bomber

con is spotted, buffs go to guns, escorts drive them away.........then seeing on ch1

"that is the biggest dam bomber formation i have ever seen!!"

seeing a strat target competely flattened in about 10 seconds

having to gun our way out of a sticky situation  ( I hate milkruns)

then landing home safely (sometimes)   :)

18K+ in a buff formation vs. a FW that really knows what he's doing, mano a mano (unless it's Diana:)). Watching him set up the pass lets me know that he knows what he's doing.. 50/50 chance of whether he'll get one of my birds or go down :) Multiple passes, we both smoke a bit, relentless FW climbs yet again for another pass across miles of terrain... immersive

'Stressed' radio chatter does it for me.

Pre-Dawn
Large red dar bar at , go to tower look around,
No red guys yet, but they are coming, jump in hanger grab a spit V 50% fuel
Take off opposite direction from nearest enme field, stay 50 feet off the ground til good 1K away
Look back over shoulder til see black dots diving down on field
Turn back with a grin and an Oh-What-The-H*** laugh
Grab to 2k, dive back down to deck to gain speed, watch for the pony or p38 that you know will be hitting the ammo or fuel and grabbing to loop back for second drop
grab at an angle to smoke him as he hits the top of his loop, loking back for your second kill
as you start to pull trigger, hard rudder right, full flaps, hit the pony as he tries to turn to you
look back, see five red icons with tracers trying to give you the Big Hello,
roll into spin, hit the deck and fly through nearest hanger still up, watch as the F6 augers into it as you laff maniacally, loop back up over the hanger and hit the tiffy as he strafes the ack
escape to the north at 50 feet off the ground…………
