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).
