Pacific Fighters and flying prop

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim (More info?)

This sim continues to amaze me, with the attention to detail and great
graphics.

Got in a heavy dogfight today with some zeros, I managed to get 2 of the
bastards in quick succession, however I find myself flying through flying
debris.
And across my front , goes a still spinning prop - prop only, and I barely
avoid hitting hit - had to pull a few g's to miss that puppy.

Oh, and a tip for those that like to use time skip. Do NOT engage time skip
while low and banked, especially sharply banked. You will fly right into the
water during the time skip - found out the hard way - like twice..

Today, for the first time, I had a couple of lock ups while flying. It was
wierd, never happened before. Screen freezes, and audio sound comes in and
out abrutly, over and over - almost a screeching sound. First time my
system has ever locked up.

I reckon it must know of the 64 bit upgrade that is on the way to me !!!

I had a wow moment when following my leader while he was trying to shoot
something down. I was wondering what was flying past me when I realised it
was his shell casings.

Its the little things.

Dgen, DCG, scripted handmade missions - they are all *OK* - but they just
don't reach out and grab me in this game for whatever reason. I don't
really feel like I'm part of a bigger struggle. Now, Falcon 4.0 or Mig
Alley's campaigns just seem more immersive to me.

Something similar happen to me flying IL2. The plane exploded in front of me
and the prop flew off still spinning.
