You know what would be cool??  If we could turn smoke on and fly aerobatic formations..

We could have a display before each Special Event  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Pongo, that would be a HOOT!  Because the B-26 is not a bad fighter at all.  Fields would be changing hands like crazy.  However I have a feeling the most common use of B-26 would be taxiing around playing co-op fragfest...

 lol.  Why do I feel that labelling just one night 'stupid plane tricks' on the Zone to be hystericaly ironic?

My reply is NOT a bash of another sim....in fact since I continue to volunteer there it would be stupid of me to bash it.

However, I would like to share that I did battle in my YAK-3 upside-down on Saturday morning.  Turning was a pain, but I did it for over an hour.  When it came to shooting I did turn upright most of the time, but any other flying was simply upside down.

It might help to mention this was in 1.5 not 2.0.  And the only reason I mention it is to point out that I came to AH for the added realism.  1.5 is a game not a sim, plain and simple.  Taken for what it's worth and how I define it, it's a good game.  Game does not necessarily equal sim though.  I think there is room enough for both because they really can't be compared on any sort of level ground.

Last a few of the Buccaneers did Air Races in the Special Events Arena.  We used the city smokestacks as one turn point and the HQ towers as the second.  It was a real blast.

We'll probably do it again sometime. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
