Watched the session form Sunday. Good stuff, I must remember to look over my shoulder more so as not to be such an easy target.

After watching the last session replay, and reading the log file, I have a question about fuel load. It would be apparent that you folk don't always go with a full load (of fuel, guys I'm talking about fuel), does this affect plane performance/maneuverability?

Hi Sacktime,

the fuel load in each aircraft does make a slight difference in maneuverability.
A lighter fuel load will add a bit faster climb rate also.

Sacktime,

That's a goodin' fer sure, but it may be hard to recreate on a skin. Is that the largest example you have? If not, we can still apply it to your ac.

Question?

When on HL and there are no-icons how do you tell if you are chasing a bad guy or a good guy? I must have very bad eyesight as I have to get in REALLY CLOSE to tell. Often by then I'm a fireball hurling towards mother earth (again :cry: ). I've mucked around with resolution, AA settings etc, but still can't seem to tell until it's too late. I assume the answer would be have more :beer: :beer: :beer: as that always seems to make the ugly things look good and I guess lots of practice.

Thanks in advance, I now have to shovel out the snow that hit last night as it's starting to rain. It's -5C and it's raining!

Es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen

Hi,

by time you learn to recognize the planes in the distance by their shape, sound and smell.
Even a pro can chace the wrong guy once in a while - shit happens.
Don't worry - you will find out in time and we help you
