Craziest stunt you have ever managed in a flight sim

NeonSamurai · 01-16-09, 08:22 AM

Thought this could be a fun topic.

Name the craziest, most ridiculous or dumbest thing you ever did in a flight sim (helo sims are ok too), name the sim too.

I'll start..

Landed both the b2, b52, and the presidential 747 (not all at once) on an aircraft carrier with out blowing it up or snapping the plane in half. Janes Fighter Anthology.

I was bored one day and figured on seeing if i could get the big planes to land successfully on an aircraft carrier (with out a tail hook) and with out destroying them or hitting the tower with a wing. It took a couple of attempts but i finally perfected the technique of stalling the plane out and plunking it on the tail of the carrier. By coming in just barely above stall speed from high up and stalling the plane out by pulling up hard at the last moment before landing (this would slow the plane well below stall speed, and stop its decent rate enough to not crash) I could stop the plane a few meters (for the b2) from the wing hitting the tower.

Needless to say my flightsim friends at the time were quite impressed (that I had even thought of doing such a thing).

I think my craziest and most thrilling to do was this upside down run:

The most funniest (sadly never uploaded the video

) was when I was messing around doing stunts with a formation of four AI bombers. I came fast from 6OC low with my 109, struck the last bomber in the formation losing my other wing. My 109 rocketed upwards from the momentum I had and I ended up landing directly to the 2nd bomber in the formation. :rotfl:

heh, I think that vid of you flying through that carrier was a pretty impressive bit of flying Dowly

And man that vid above was awesome!

For me; not really a stunt but I think I once managed to take out 4 B17's with one rocket on IL2. If I remember rightly, the rocket hit the middle right bomber, taking out that and the the one next to it in the explosion and causing them two to fly into the others. Wish I'd have had fraps running

I think the craziest one I ever did was when I ran out of ammo when I was pursuing a B17 as a Japanese Zero pilot. I lowered my landing gear and rammed the plane's left wing tip with my right wheel. It sent the plane down in a violent spin, and I got a kill. I actually like ramming enemy planes, though. It's very effective in IL2 if you do it just right, and if you become an expert at it, then you can avoid death every time.

I landed a Catalina on the water near a town somewhere and then whilst taxiing swiped off the left wing and ended up on the beach facing the opposite direction. The other wing went as I gunned the engines to get back into the water and then I used the thing as a speedboat for about 2 mins until the engines ran out of gas.

One time when I was going around the tube challenge court. I pulled up and went between two cranes, and lived. (happened so quick, I couldn't get a shot of it.) Probably couldn't do it again.

Bombs have the same effect.

The craziest thing I've ever done in IL-2 was tricked the AI in to thinking they shot me down by turning off my engine, the AI leave, I restart my engine and shoot them down:rotfl: :rotfl: . That and scareing an ace rated I-16 pilot to bail out in one shot!
