I fly Lancasters and I normally have a few beers whilst waiting to get to alt.
Problem is I`m so drunk by FL20 that I keep falling off my chair !!
AV8:D

(dweeb thought process)
you're supposed to climb? whats' alt? i like to get to every fight at 5k and when dying, whine about alt monkeys! :D
-
In the unlikely event that I'm climbing over 10k, I swing the chair around and browse the Inet/do some Excel work on the old box.
Home networks are truly awesome-I no longer have to abort mishuns when the wife wants to browse...............

It is what smoking was made for.
-
Fortunately, the FM2 is at its best below 10k, and since I fly the FM2 for base defense, the targets come to me and save me the trouble of flying long distances.
But when I'm in my FW190a8, I usually have the History Channel or the Discovery Channel going. Last night I got so fed up with commercial breaks during Monday Night Football that I decided to do some AH as my primary activity and only watched the bits of the game worth watching during the climb to alt.
-
I alt-tab and browse the web/do work. The only thing I can't really do is connect to my office, because activating the VPN severs my connection to HTC.
Every few minutes, I'll tab back into the game and do a crazy ivan to make sure I'm not about to be blown out of the sky, then I check radar and map position and tab out again.
-
Play guitar...
-
I also try and watch some streaming porn but it kills my framerates......
-
What's this auto-climb you speak of!?
-
I tune channel 1, grab my favorite chit-stirrin stick & commence flinging. :D
J/K, Actually-- study map, dogs in/out/feed, make JD/soda, make necessary adjustments to head.:p
Anton
-
Tacos & Beer Run.
-
I continue planning for my overthrow of all the world goverments, to form one giant world-wide nation Bodhitopia.... MUHAHAHA
-
Shut up bodhi, you cant even control that chihuahua of yours ;) :D
-
Sit *reeel* still so I get cramped like real b-17/ki-67/b-26 pilots...
Actually, I kick back in the La-z-Boy close to the computer and read something...

ccvi. I expect to be back online winth a fourthnight (I'm at work now). To answer your question: Alt-. It's called "autopilot speed" in the key setup. I think it uses best climb-angle rather than best climb-speed, so avoid use in combat.
-
And for the main question: I usually fire up a cancer-stick, grab a few mouthfulls of soda (with vodka if I'm not working/driving the next day;) ), and check my six and radar a lot while trying to figure out what i'm going to do when I get up there.
-
I usually go afk during climbing for a smoke or a toke and watch TV with my girlfriend.
ack-ack
-
Did this last night, twice. Give 'er a try.. Always an attention getter.
Find another country-man on same heading (especially bombers). Slowly creep up from the low-6, adjust speed so closure is like 5 MPH, then climb up right INTO THEIR COCKPIT! So you can see their dashboard atop yours,, then as you break forward,, touch off a burst!
The sound in their speakers, is LOUD & quite exciting.. What a RUSH!
Watch 'em go balistic.. in rear view.
(then decide how to occupy self for remaining 30 minutes to target)

I tried this last night...don't recommend:
Was in 262...3yr old boy got out of bed, needed drink and go to the bathroom....
I thought...hmmm....well if I grab in this direction I should be safe. Help the little guy take care of business, come back and in the tower!!!!!
Lesson learned...never afk in a perk plane..unless of coarse it is for good reason like a cute 3yr old son.

Been there too.
This is particularly aggravating when the wife is lying on the bed and she asks you to deal with the little one who needs attention..because she is watching TV.
I don't usually say anything...because the answer I get is always "It's just a game".
-
I discipline my monkey if it’s been bad. :D
-
lol I let my GF do the monkeying.. so to speak
actually it's usually
gaze at the 'always-on' tv,
or pick up the axe (guitar),
or surf a bit, read mail etc..
or get distracted and forget I'm even flying...
the other night I decided a quick dip in the hot tub was gonna be perfect.. never even logged off till I woke up next day.
well my connection was broken but AH was still up.
oh you mean to climb out?
I thought you were talking 'in game'

God I miss all of you guys!! been a little while sine I have flown now that I am over here in Italy at Aviano AB. Funny how things work out...I go to BMT, go to Tech School, go home, get married, wife, leave for Italy, wife is going to have baby (Feb 9th, 02), I go home for that, I come back to Italy, she comes over w/baby, she gets a 4 year honeymoon out of it! Man, and to think I was going to have an expensive honeymoon!!!
When I am on auto climb, I do anything but pay attention to the screen...maybe that is why I get shot down so much when I am in auto climb! I do agree with some guys... ALT sucks, come down to my level and fight!!
Later Gents, and see you in the skies soon...
-
...usually spin around to PC #2 and play Jedi Knight 2 Demo or Soldier of Fortune...unlike my Lanc guns, those ones do damage :D
-
Same thing Swoop does ;)
