Realistic modeling or just plane (pun) silly?

Did you know that if you hit "E" just as you go full throttle, the plane will continue down the runway without you?

LOL!!! I'm going to have to try that!

Happy Flying!

You can also hit "F" while taxing below 10 kts and refuel on the run!

Make sure you hold the brake (x) then set your trim to up, hit "E" then, release the break. I did this with the RV and it took off, did some porposing, then started to perform tighter and tighter turns around the airport! LOL!

Yes! I've done that many times! It's hilarious! Lost a couple of my aircraft that way :P

Happy Flying,

Maybe E stands for Eject instead of Exit. :Nail Biting:

How do you get back in to the aircraft? Is 'E' a proximity thing?

Hi! You can't get back into the aircraft... ever!I'm just kidding... leave the session, go to the hanger, pick the plane you want, then go to a field or start in the air. There may be another way but that's what I do.

Leave this. Each years there is a couple of pilot that succed in letting their plane go alone on the tarmac.Regulation even had to stipulate that it is forbidden to let an airplane running with nobody able to kill the motor if somerhing run havoc.

A friend and I discovered this during the beta. Quite funny to watch.

Also funny: land the Icon without the gear down. After you have come to a VERY QUICK halt, press G and... see yourself rise...! Wonder if the real plane does that too. Woulnd't surprise me, actually...
