I was just thinking about this while creating another video. It would be awesome if we could do self damage to our planes. IE, .damageflaps then your flaps would fall off..
This would help out a TON with us film makers that try to re-create scenarios in our films. To have planes take damage on command and be specific to the area of damage.
This function of course would be disabled in the MA, but possibly in the DA or TA.
Theres another plus, lets say you want to train in a damaged aircraft to improve your skills, this would be a way to do so..say your not too hot fighting with oil on your canopy...go to the TA/DA and damage your oil and start fighting. Same with Ailerons, Rudder, one engine out in the p38..
What do ya'll think?
-
Interesting idea.
yeah. +1.
Need to learn how to fight well with 1 engine in the 38.

Couldn't you hit "shift 1" then hit "E" to shut off the left engine...or hit "shift 2" for the right?
If your doing this online have a buddy fly with you and shoot him. It might take a few tries but I bet you can get the desired effects...kill shooter CAN be your friend!
DuHasst

To think that statistics show that home schooled children on average perform better than kids that go to public school.
ack-ack

<- Public School

When H2H was still around we used a .DOT command which would randomly damage your plane. I believe the command was .kill, yet I don't recall exactly.

They do! Most public school kids would type "damij"!
<- Public school as well. I guess folks like us are anomalies?

I am sure it's just because he is scarred from his great uncle dying while testing The Effect of Flak on the Efficiency of a P82 Over Japan.

I wonder why the homeschooled kids do better... the parents don't usually have a degree in teaching.

thats not how home schooling works lol
The students goes to a teacher with about 5-10 other students at the teachers home..the parent themselves dont teach

I was very ill when a child and I learnt to read at home long before I started school at five years old. 'Teacher' went crazy when she discovered me reading 'King Solomon's Mines' while the rest of the class was sweating over Jack and Jill Book 2 (Rider Haggard was more interesting by far) and she dragged me before the Head when I naively asked her what was wrong with being able to read. My father was called to take me home for 'disrupting the class'. Ah well, I really did learn something that day: the fact that most teachers are no such thing, they're tin-pot dictators who drag their victims through a system that over-pays bookworms to mould square pegs that will fit into square holes.
TRUE teachers are those all-too-rare individuals who INSPIRE children to learn. They know that children are naturally curious and their minds are only fully open to genuinely new ideas when they don't know what's going to happen next, when they WONDER. Good educators design their lessons so their students experience at least one 'WOW!' moment per session. The best demonstration I've ever seen of this fact is the sequence in 'Dead Poets' Society' where teacher John Keating enters the classroom for the first time. The boys expect him to go to the front and take them through the usual ritual of 'Good morning, sir'; instead, he leads the class on a short walk that ends in front of a display case, where he stands behind the now gently-traumatised group and gives them their WOW! moment. As they wonder what on earth he's up to, he whispers 'SEIZE THE DAY, BOYS, SEIZE THE DAY!' Unforgettable.
I was lucky. My father was just like him. No, he wasn't a qualified teacher, just a wise Royal Navy Artificer who taught me to LEARN.
:cool:

Simba, I completely agree with you.
In kindergarten could read much faster than the rest of the class, and my teacher resented that. I could finish their so called "books" in around 20 seconds flat, wow did she hate me. And Simba, I didn't know that you had a rebellious streak in you!

I remember when i was learning cursive, i was so excited that i went home and my mom taught me all that i needed to know.
Went back to school on Monday and I started to write in cursive and the teacher basically told me to stop...that i needed to go with the rest of the class, and that I was doing it wrong...too bad two weeks later I was in 2nd place with best penmanship in the entire school..which included the 3rd graders and I was in 2nd grade. The teacher could go suck my ball point pen..
wtf
-
I was only punished for my bad handwriting... I was rewarded with pullout classes for my goodish math skills and far above level reading abilities. Sucks to be you guys.

Perfectly true Simba, but I would like to add one point from my experience with teachers, which is probably more modern than you guys, with all due respect.
I remember when we started getting a new breed of teacher into the school. They acted like you stated Simba, always encouraging you and leaving a window of wonder open, but they had something else, that gave the students respect for them. They had a sense of humour.
These teachers would tell jokes, have jokes made at their expense within a certain limit obviously but it meant the students enjoyed going to those classes. They were rewarded with jokes and laughter at school, so in response we put extra effort into those classes.I remember our History teacher was a heck of a battle axe if you were 12, just joining Secondary School. And he would torment them like I've never seen. If the belt was still legal, it would be out for EVERYTHING in his class.
But as you made your way up the school, and prove yourself to him, he was nicer and nicer and eventually you realised he would play pranks on the youngsters, to get him his reputation. There was one day he opened the door slightly, knowing that he had a class of First Years in next, the same class currently sitting in the Library at that moment, and he proceeded to give some poor student absolute hell for forgetting his Homework. The pupil in question knew it was a joke and knew what was coming. Mr Johnstone then threatened him with Expulsion saying he'll never come back into the school again, that his parents will have lost any faith in him and that he was failure! He had to get his expulsion notice from the Headmaster instantly.
Apparently some little first year heard all of this and turned to one of his mates, and simply said 'I..I...I I haven't done my Homework!!!!'
Moral of the story. He gained respect by us working, but once you had that respect and realised he had a sense of humour, we worked extra hard for him, and I still today retain every scrap of respect I had for that man. If anybody is interested, he has penned a few books on Scottish History. His name is Ian Johnstone. Well worth looking up.
God Bless High School and the fun Teachers! :salute

Couldn't agree with you more, MacLeod, a sense of humour is essential, which is why we don't allow po-faces in the Duxford Wing mess. Such miseries are in serious danger of having their trousers forcibly removed in the best RAF manner.
Cheers!
:cool:

(I know that I'm gonna get flamed for this)
1. What's a po-face?
2. I have very weird teacher, Mr.Gilbride, it's like there's something missing from his soul. There's just something about him that irks me, because it isn't there.

I'm saying that it's like he's a robot without a sense of humor (odd jokes). His demeanour is quite cold and blase (blah zay').

<--- Public school taught too. At least when I went you were actually taught lessons. We had high tech class aides too....reel to reel projectors, turntables, and even them new fangled slide projectors WITH sound.
