Title: Has anyone else seen Flipper?
Post by: Hamish on October 21, 2000, 06:58:00 PM: Has anyone else seen spitfires dancin' like flipper on thier tails, and then having enough E to close on you like nothing and blow ya outta the sky?

*ATTN* this is not a whine, nor a squeak, just a question.

Since we can't ask pilots to fly 'right' how about HTC modeling gravitational effects on the pilot, beyond the simple redout/blackout. Also disabled the auto-trim during said spells (as well as when in clouds).
See the general forumn topic on Cumulative Pilot Fatigue.

Real Tasmanian Devils aren't that fast. And their fur is black not brown. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
