noobie mistakes in IL2:FB :: Number 39

[Maffu]

A 20% to 100% throttle change in the Me-262. Burn, baby, burn. Won't be doing that again in a hurry.

Also, kidding myself that I could fly a big bomber [name forgets me..] upside down at about 5 foot off the ground. It was going well untill I hit a hillside.

Damn naturally formed earth features!

[Dakaras]

LOL They burn lubbly those 262s

Musta been a Heinkel matey - TB3's won't actually go upside down. I've tried

[TiG]

hehe - that sounds like a challenge, 1 upside down tb3 on its way

[[GSV]Trig]

Yes they do

I pick a flyable plane in IL2 and I'll get it on its back....

[[GSV]Myocardial]

I'm sorry but the sexual conotations related to your post Trig are just far to easy

You'd try and get anything onto it's back if given half a chance

I've been playing il2 for a little bit, just trying to learn me keys actually, printed off a key list for meself now but I usually play in the early hours of the morning when it's quiet so I can fly about and not look like a complete numpty Still can't take off on the actual runway tho

[Maffu]

So, do I have to pass an initiation to get to fly with you girls, or is it all a bit hush hush wink wink?

[Dakaras]

No mate just turn up in Hyper Lobby

[Maffu]

Cool beans. I'll sort that program out, and try and meet up with a bunch of you. You there most nights, or any inparticular?

:: It is a program, right? Thought I read HL was a program... ::

[Nick]

Maffu, check the sticky, you'll find all you need in there.

[Maffu]

Ah ha. Nice one Deckard. When you guys fly, is it a free for all, or is it team/mission based.

Anyway, if you see me in the air in the near future, remember to treat me nice. K? No n00bie bashing. That's being mean.

[Incidentally, if I were to crash -- I know, silly suggestion -- and bail out, what happens? Do I automatically bag another plane on a runway, or do I wait for...whatever, or d/c and reconnect?]

Cheers.

[Knoxville]

Can be a bit of both or though we're tryin to head to more team based stuff with co-ops etc.

I'll have to look out for you in h/l, whats your nick?

If you crash/die you just refly and you'll be back on the runway unless the host has limited the number of planes.

[Maffu]

well, I'll go for Maffu. Although hardly a team simmer [besides, 1942, I'm a OLRer through and through. I race for me, and me only] although I'll try and fit in. I suck something silly, so won't be much use to anyone for a while!

[Dakaras]

I cant get the dedicated server stuff to work so Im usually in Virtual Pilots 1 server, Nice plane sets, but no padlock or externals, treid a 109 tonight...........Silly boy I know cant fly em so why do I try, brief flurry in a P47 was prductive though

[Tumble]

I have the same problem with 109's.... dunno why - they are a fantastic aircraft - the FW190 is marginally better for me, but somehow still "wrong" can't fly em at all had a nice DF with Hat before - me in LaGG3 and him in 109 - put holes in his window and everything afore I had to "pancake" cos I'd screwed me engine and run out of bangy stuff

[Dakaras]

The 109 always feels slow somehow, soon as you throttle back to 80% to cruise feel like your crawling along, when I fly it I cant seem to climb as well as I can in the russain planes, yet a 109 is a sod to stay with in a climb
