So I am flying a Spitfire online last night. I spawned on a hill at an airbase instead of on a flat section as I had before. Well the darn plane starts rolling backwards. I try the brakes but they are only slowing me not stopping me. I fortunately did not run into anyone while rolling back. As other people spawned they were in the same situation and rolled backwards as well. There was much carnage as planes rolled into each other and burst into flames (see photo) Funny thing was I couldn't produce enough power to climb back the hill so I could take off. I ended up rolling down the hill some more to try and find a level spot. When I would get a little stuck I would fire the machine guns to get me rolling again. Impressive physics modeling and funny as heck!

Yes thats the server. It was a like a train wreck you want to look away but you can't. I think that the physics though was great!

The very north of Germany
That`s one of these fictional online-maps, right? I once spawned right above a small hangar, rolling downhill and ending in an fireball.
