You know you've been flying BS for too long when....

[LastRifleRound]

1.) You address your friends and family in (To)(Callsign)(Message) format ALWAYS

 

2.) You try to set VNAV parameters in your car's GPS

 

3.) You try to slew your TV

 

4.) You are pulled over for erratic driving when you start trying to engage your gas pedal and brake pedal to control your vehicle's heading

 

5.) You look for VVI indications in elevators to ensure operation outside of the vortex ring zone

 

6.) You plan track routes to get to work, and correct for course on the free way

 

7.) In windy conditions, you find yourself looking for your car's trim button....

[leafer]

you pretend the parking brake is the collective

 

you take your Hyundai back to the dealer and demand the parking brake be moved to the other side

 

you crane your neck to scan your six before you change lane

[Sharkster64]

1. You hear this nagging voice behind you, and realize its your wife bitching at you because you've been playing this game too dang long,

(in her mind).:cry:

oh, wait a minute, said that already. :doh:

[LupinYonder]

When you go to start your car and cant find the APU

[crazysundog]

While in the Real World, when a conversation turns to helicopters you immediately sieze the podium and begin informing everyone of the dangers of mast bumping, VRS, and dont forget the autorotation..............while eyes glance from side to side... but you dont let up and start lecturing on ground attack tactics, entering a quick hover and how to use the trim button, then taking a detour and marveling the crowd with the benefits of Kamov's contra-rotating blades. (and the danger of a rotor strike!) The lecture comes to a halt when one in the crowd asks "how do you know so much about Russian attack helicopters, anyway?"

 

You respond, "oh I'm just a beginner..."

[EtherealN]

You know you've been playing DCS:BS too much when your flight instructor accuses you of heresy.

 

That's something I got from my (PPL) instructor the other week, anyway. :P

Maybe we can tune the LWR to pick up the "death ray" emissions that come from a glaring wife attack?

[Evilducky]

You ask your flight instructor where you plug in the 360 controller for the easy flight mode :joystick:

 

You look around the car frantically and your friend asks you what your doing and you respond "I disabled the mirrors to save on the FPS" hahah

LOLOLOL Especially relevant for me and my P4.....

 

Here's another:

When pulling into full serve gas stations, you ask the attentand to load you the Anti-tank Package

[Schnarre Aggro]

If u need a refill at the gasstation u say to the guy : fill up to max combat weight !

 

aggro

[WRFirefox]

You drive straight to a tree, because you think there is no damage model

[talisman]

You yank on the hand brake at 50 on the freeway and plough into a semi because you thought you could go "up and over". (im in the uk - the e-brake is by my left side.)

[slowhand]

or you call the house from 5 blocks out and ask the ol lady for a vector to homeplate and request a landing..or a fly by depending on her mood at the time..

[advent_m]

...you drive and your car veers, you tap your right thumb (X52's FIRE C) in order to trim. ;[

[leafer]

You know that one day, when you least expected, you'll answer a knock on the door only to find two military personnels staring down at you, and behind them, a Humvee in your lawn. Then one of the men asks with all seriousness "Sir, do you know how to fly the KA-50!"

 

This is when your jaw dropped as well as the bottle of vaseline in your hand. Then you realized you didn't buy BS cuz it has Starforce...

 

"Nooooooo -- !"

[nemises]

^^ heh

[Ramstein]

In IL-2 I often try launching my flares!!

:doh:

[bfeld]

... you are permanently looking at the clock in your car to ensure you are in fast forward mode when automatically starting the engines :)

You do less work and past you work time in this Forum. Even posting in this Thread.

[crazysundog]

While driving you are constantly scanning the treelines for that telltale puff of smoke that signals a manpad launch.....and even though the launch never comes, you dare not stop because you know those bas**rds are just waiting for you to let your guard down.:unsure:

[Bluduh]

Your co-workers in your US Department of Defense job are starting to get suspicious, because you just "know too damn much about Russian Attack Helicopters".

[MTFDarkEagle]

When you come home from a day's fast bicycling, you realise you needed to do a cool-down trip because you're heating up just to much.
