I've actually flown the P-40E add on when I had FSX installed.

It was a nice plane, but after 30 minutes of flying around my home town and Toledo Ohio, I was left wondering what else there was to do with it.

Not knocking the model, just it's application. To me FSX is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Another time I was online with another of the BlitzPigs and we flew CF-18s around his neck of the woods, Vancouver BC. After looking at the scenery for 45 min. or so we both said almost simultaneously on comms... "Now what?" Ummmm... "Land?"

I guess it's just not for me. To each their own though.

I do have to admit that if armed aircraft were possible in FSX it would be fun to shoot down an airliner or two on one of those uptight air traffic control online sessions, just to hear the wailing on comms. Now that would be fun.

When a pilot bail over enemy territory,a cutscene appears where he is being arrested by enemy ground forces.

I dreamed one day that I bailed a plane on IL2 and I got on first person view from the pilot and I was holding a gun!Started shooting the tanks that were near me and planes passing by...

+1 No interest in FSX whatsoever.

Yeah, i know what you mean. I like it but i usually do my flying in "batches". Sometimes i fly FSX for a week straight and then i take a lengthy break. I don't own it so i only get to fly it when i'm visiting my buddy, but even if i did i guess it would be the same. I mean, i do the exact same thing with IL2...pick it up and fly it a lot for a month or so, then i take a break for a couple of months.

As for the bolded part, yes, that would be funny

How about a mysterious sighting of a Rundflugzeug RFZ-2/Vril on a reconnaissance mission or test flight?

oleg, dont forget this: when the pilots of the Luftwaffe gives the order of attack. said in the radio: "Horrido!". Horrido is a Latin word meaning frightful or frightening. Perhaps the Luftwaffe meant for it to mean "Fear me!"

Horrido is the equivalent of Tally Ho. i think

Really? I thought that ,,Horrido!" was told after a shootdown, something like ,,Hooray! Got him!".

ok, yes, "Pauke, Pauke" is when the pilot have a visual contact with enemy. and horrido when the pilot have a victory, instead of said Hei Hitler, they say horrido (is like 'anti nazi' protest and more saying "i do this for my country, not for a crazzy motherf###")
The British don't said "Hooray! Got him!", They said "Tally-Ho",
please correct me.
