Title: Sometimes this game is just so cool
Post by: BaldEagl on July 18, 2008, 03:24:52 PM
I was flying a Goon the other night NOE when my left prop clipped a tree which stopped the engine.

So I'm flying along on one engine and struggling to go up a very gradual incline.  I'm in external view and keep lifting the nose higher and higher trying to make this grade.  Then, I notice that my tail wheel is on the ground putting out a nice little dust trail as the nose is pointed skyward and the main gear are up.  It was like this for what seemed like a long time.

Needless to say I didn't make it and got a ditch.

It's those little things that really make this game cool sometimes.

This post simply will not do sir.  There isn't a gripe, whine, or accusation, in it.  Now rewrite it and post in the appropriate spirit of this forum. :D

PS

That is pretty cool.  No film?

I've done it before, but put the gear down, avoided trees till I got to the top of the hill and was able to take off again.  2 engines does help though.

I glided back to base about a sector in a b24 and rolled down a mountain the last 5 miles or so, maneuvering around trees and barns and rolled onto the runway before I stopped. I have the film. Ill post it when I find it.
