ryyy Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) "Pilot: Ryan-Paulbert Call Sign: Slink First time flying into combat last night with the boys from 76th Tankbuster's. Just for some background info, I'm an extremely new nugget. So excuse the panic stick and throttle inputs as I'm still not as confident on my flying abilities! Kylania and Python took me under their wing to learn a few things and next thing you know, I'm in a sketchy situation due to a SAM and not paying attention. Changed flight plan back to Kutaisi for an emergency landing. 76th's Kylania and Python talking me in as I'm trying to land this thing. I've never done an emergency landing before, got my heart racing that's for sure. Then on final approach I notice a blip on the runway... Another player parks his Hog (maybe disconnected?) on the runway!!! But to my avail I narrowly... and I do mean NARROWLY, miss clipping his wing by rudder hard to the left." I noticed I didn't even bother to extinguish the fire. I honestly don't know why, lol. I guess in my head there was too much going on for me that something so obvious slipped my mind O_O Edited September 6, 2011 by ryyy 1
ryyy Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 Figured out the rendering issues, should have no blank/black scenes now.
NoJoe Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Hahaha, wow. You must have been just centimeters from that other Hog! Nice video. :thumbup: --NoJoe

MagnumHB Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Two lessons you didn't mention in the video: 1. Don't fly around under normal circumstances with your speedbrake open, and don't use full speedbrakes on approach, especially with a damaged engine. 2. Don't fly around at low level unless you are trying to avoid a specific radar guided SAM threat. It's just asking for a MANPAD or AAA shot, which is exactly what happened. Try staying above 15000 ft.
RodBorza Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Barely missed it! You did well for someone inexperienced. And I liked that you pput the lessons learned on your video. It's instructional, as well interesting. Edited October 2, 2011 by RodBorza This is an amazing sim! 'Nuff said!:pilotfly: YouTube: SloppyDog
