Beer run, pilot style!
« on: June 13, 2013, 03:48:55 AM »
Take off from a field, suggesting 25% fuel in a smaller plane, fly to town, land on main street, go into '7-11' buy some beer (near flag I guess), take off again, land back at base with NO damage!  There is an ideal part that can almost make it but its narrow at both ends so very short runway. Need a storch maybe?

"Beer run" or "Cars? We don't need no stink'in cars!" achievement! or however to name it.

Don't mind my broken 109 wings all over town kk, thx!  :cheers:

It's not an in-game achievement. I'm saying the Cannonball Run already achieved it.

Sort of like the Simpsons already did it regarding Family Guy shows.

Good stuff!

Anyways, having troubles finding a difficult but do'able spot to land.
Maybe just have it 'land anywhere in town' then re-up and land at base.

This would be good practice and study for emergency landings. Like when coming in with half a wing, other missing control surfaces, a radiator hit, a pilot wound, a gear shot out,  a flap shot off in unknown position, and uhh, oh... how about three spitXIVs on your tail haha!   :uhoh

Least what's left of him can have a drink!

Might add for a v-base also, there's a direction to come in that misses most of the clutter and done right we coast right up to land in to a large hangar on the largest area cement part...
