Thanks for the reply guys.

I have managed to land but i cannot ask for a repair and notice that my aircraft is not even visible on the F10 map anymore?

Why would one be able to land but no longer be 'part' of the game?

Sojust to make this clear: Does the Viper not have fire extinguishers like the Hornet, Tomcat or Warthog for example?

In fact, most single-engine jet fighters don't have fire suppression systems. If you have the option of punching out, there's no reason to stay inside an aircraft that's on fire. Especially in something like an F-16, which won't even glide particularly far with the engine dead.

You guys are surviving aircraft damage? Lol. I don't remember the last time I was hit in the Viper where my pilot wasn't instantly killed.

Last night I took damage from AAA at low altitude, lost control and punched out. My jet survived impact with the ground, and sat there at full power slowly pushing its way through the grass. I walked up to it and stood on the wing. It ran for about 10 minutes before running out of fuel.

None. With a two engine airplane the remaining engine has some utility. With one engine the crash takes care of the fire.

Makes sense :thumbup:
