Title: Blocking the sun
Post by: SEraider on January 12, 2010, 01:32:14 PM
Just a question:

Why is it when you are on autoclimb towards the sun, and you bring up your clipboard, that you cant block the sun out? 

In real life you can right?  So why not here? :airplane:

Cockpit bars, not clipboard, just move your head position once your on stable autoclimb.

The sun we have in the game is modeled after our sun a few billion years from now.  It is running out of fuel and it is expanding.  It is impossible to hide from it  :D

In real life you can crash and die...so why not here?  You crash, the HTC server sends a power spike to fry your PC.

I hate the optical effects of the sun in AH.  It just looks like crap the way the sun can block your entire field of view, as if your eyes did not divert away.  Rise of Flight and Il-2 are both superior in this respect.

How can it run out of fuel?  It's 93 million miles up in the sky!  Man, that just blows Chalenge's theory that being above 35k saves fuel.

I called Al Gore already.  The pollution these planes are punting in the air is causing the maps to warm up.  The problem is getting worse now that people are trying to save fuel by flying closer to the sun

Only way the Sun and Moon would look real big is if you were flying at 30 K+ Conserving fuel    :D

Is this thread about global warming?

If so you have solved a major dilemma....

We can cut a ton of global warming by issuing clipboards  to the green freaks to nullify the effects of the sun...

On their half baked brains...

Moving on....

Green freak for asking why the clipboard does not (and should) block the sun?  Or am I misinterpreting your comment?
