Give me some "holy sh... did that just happen" ideas

[erazerhead]

i think it would be kinda cool to have a few birds sit around the airfields that will fly off and land somewhere random whenever they get disturbed, by like an approaching vehicle, engine noise or something similar.

Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing the progress!

Just wondering if we will have the sensation of hanging by the straps when flying inverted, so that the line of sight changes to one higher up in the cockpit? Wouldn't have to change much but it would help to give the sensation of going inverted, particularly when rolling over fast, the pilot "drops" suddenly.

I think pilots were strapped in pretty tight but this sort of thing may be possible based on Luthier's recent comments about movements of the plane affecting the crew inside. If that's the case, it'll make for some interesting flying while going through turbulence or tailing bombers.

Well, some authentic situations like these:

- get in the cockpit with an awful hangover (drink 5 liters of whisky or schnnaps the night before and use your headset at a high volume!)

- overclock your cpu without propper cooling ( you´ll crash quite soon!)

- drop a gallon of gasoline over your flight station and light a cigarrete (third degree burnings!)

- hang 3 buckets of water over you in your room´s ceiling and pull the string (you ditched in Channel!)

- eat lots of junk food(aka MacDonald´s) and drink a bottle of castor oil(that dammned cheap fish & chips or sauerkaut if you´re Luftwaffe!)

- unplug you PC set from the power socket (engine´s problems!)

- get layed with a woman that´s not your wife or girlfriend and let she know about(romance problems!)

- tell your boss to bug off or to **** off(you´re grounded!)

- spend all your money, savings and credit cards( you´re a POW!)

Cheers,

So funny!!!....erm NOT!

Oh, I apologize, I thought some humour wouldn´t hurt.

For real, would be great to have a scramble that you run to your Spit or Hurricane.

[Necrobaron]

Don't worry about it Mad G. Some people take things too seriously...

[BadAim]

I actually LOL'd Mad G! The only thing is that telling your boss to $%%^& off would rather allow you more time to fly. Until they shut off the power, that is.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but here goes. During The BoB AA would generally open fire on anything that flew. My idea is to have a mission where out of the blue the RAF are engaged by AA fire from their own side.

Pierre Clostermann wrote a lot about how his squadron tried to avoid all known flak areas, not just the enemy's. the problem was the average soldier or sailor's aircraft recognition was so bad they'd shoot at anything, resulting in a lot of friendly fire incidents.

maybe you could model something similar? maybe even being accidentally bounced by friendly aircraft?
