In the shot of Arc, what is that "Aligning navigation Systems... 2 mins" message?

Arclight · 10-06-11, 07:36 PM

Think he has that 'radio help' thingy ticked. Have a rumage through the options.

Starboard engine fire, successfully extinguised, but now bad asymetry - will I get home? With my reputation?

On the return flight, even the aircraft had something to say - didn't give me what I wanted - height, speed, etc. - but did say something.

Well despite the asymetry and a shredded tyre I landed okayish, just veered off at the last moments of travel, shut down and had a closer look at the damage (stbd engine, tyres, both wings, little instrumentation), also noticed the moon...

Arclight · 10-13-11, 06:50 PM

Yes, flying with you is always... interesting.

Got half my tail blown off last week I think:

And tonight I landed with a shredded tire on the right main gear, with predictable outcome:

I'll give you the wreckages are mine, the KC-135 exploding is caused by one really annoyed Raptic Foxor1, your recent loss of tail and tyre are not in any way my responsibility - in fact you've got away lightly this last few weeks...!

I'll try harder to fly into a SAM or 2.

Server coming up.

Arclight · 10-20-11, 05:35 PM

There. Flew into the ground, failing to pull out of a gun run.

Ah, and who can forget that AAA that took off a wing next flight. Not the best night.

Anyways:

Friendly convoy we were supporting. Not a scratch on 'm.

Spectacular!

Herr-Berbunch · 10-27-11, 02:09 PM

Any chance of setting the starting time to before dawn so we can get some night flying in?

Don't worry if it's not easy, or delays the timings of events like the convoy and the tanker.

Arclight · 10-27-11, 02:17 PM

Nope, no problem. Delays are from mission start, regardless of a specific time.

We can barely fly in the day, and you want to add darkness into the equation?

Arclight · 10-27-11, 03:03 PM

Yes. And I can fly just fine, thankyouverymuch.

Server coming up.

Herr-Berbunch · 10-27-11, 07:11 PM

I offered to mark the southern-most tip of 'That Place', where the ZSU-23s reside, with smoke - I even took one out with my airframe!

Dowly nicely approaching the tanker for some...

Target practice.

Note the aerodynamics of a missing wing, the remaining one just keeps on liftin', liftin' and spirallin', spirallin' and, err...

Falling!

Arclight · 10-27-11, 07:34 PM

We don't take reservations.

(Full flaps is for landing Spike, not take-off.

)

Spike88 · 10-27-11, 07:47 PM

Ah, I thought 30 flaps was for landing, until I realized the flaps didn't actually go down to 30. I'm used to flying commercial craft.

Hey... I recognize that plane.
