Been there often.
Just the other night in fact.
I had one sortie that was going well and I bailed.  No idea how it happened.  Flyin along and all of a sudden I'm in a chute.

eskimo,

Were you closing on a P-51D that had just started to zoomed climb?

I had an La-7 that was gaining on me do that last night.  I was watching the La-7 get closer, getting ready to try to turn fight 'cause I wasn't gonna outrun it when <POOF> it turn into a chute.

Was in a C-47

About once a month I have an unexplained bail.  I think that I may have a sticky keyboard and after hitting Enter, it may repeat several times.
Veiws also get stuck - Hard to fight when all you can see is your seat or right wing, lol.

Seems that starting a new tour makes me suck.  Something about trying to "fly smarter this tour" makes me fly dumber...  Go figure.

Eskimo, Remap bail key to shift Enter = no more unplanned exits!

As for bad nights, heck I've had bad tours!
This has  started out lousy for me, remains to be seen if I can pull my act together.

Nope, I'm pretty much the same every night, sorta like the flatline on a EKG.

The best thing about having so low a level of expectations for myself is I'm rarely disappointed  :D

Best part is, if you plan on being a complete and total failure, and actually manage to shoot someone down, you're pleasently surprised   :cool:
