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. Wheels

Very nice! Love that first shot. Looks like he got out in the nick of time.

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. Wheels

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.

Looks like a post-wreck move in a race like NASCAR.

Some old mishaps from me: Problems with my traffic generator in FS9. The first time this happened scared the hell out of me as it passed. If bad weather and low visibility weren't enough, there is also a tree to contend with. New to the game and just ejected from a Black Shark I watched with interest to see if they had modelled a chute tangling with these cables... I never found out because the chute did not hit a cable at all and floated at a slight diagonal through and clearing them all. My old computer had some issues with the PMDG screenies sometimes. At the time I never saw this coming and suddenly found myself at the centre of a dissipating orange glow. A rewind revealed the cause. I was totally baffled when I got the friendly kill message in this. Again, a rewind revealed an interesting strike of bad luck. From another angle: Looking forward to many more in COD, heheh.
