wheelsup_cavu Veteran Registered: 12/03/08 Posts: 17655 Loc: Corona, California	Post some of your flight sim mishaps. Mine just happen to be from IL-2 The perils of target fixation. I still didn't get the Hurricane I had lined up on either !!! I may need to work on turning the aircraft around without tipping it on its nose.

wheelsup_cavu Veteran Registered: 12/03/08 Posts: 17655 Loc: Corona, California	Thanks, I was flying on the Online4Summer map so the clouds were below the height of the mountains. I had just crested one and was chasing the Hurricane to the valley when I got tagged from my 6. I took one last shot at the Hurricane before I bailed out. The you are seriously wounded message made up my mind to give up the ghost and bail. Considering how often .trk files don't work properly I was happy to get the shot I wanted during playback. I forgot to re-set the video options to Perfect though.

HeinKill Member Registered: 05/25/06 Posts: 1559 Loc: Denmark	Got the hang of take offs, it's landings I have yet to perfect... Also, tip for beginners, stay clear of your own bomb blast And, not all flak is harmless But this is my favourite..."Hey, where did my machine gun go?" _________________________ Looking for Battle of Britain missions, info and campaigns for IL2 Cliffs of Dover, Battle of Britain II or CFS3?

Cworth Member Registered: 06/30/04 Posts: 894 Loc: Pennsylvania	The unfortunate result of target fixation.. Did not notice how low I was getting until I caught my undercarriage on the copse of trees behind my plane and went for a ride. _________________________ People who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who do.
