July 7, 201213 yr Yea im sure this would have been great to have recorded. I swear to you this really happened... lol OK so im looking for an aerocache.. its the Hinalele Falls one. I locate it. Being its in a spot i cant get to without a helicopter, I will have to go on foot. I circle around in the cub really slow, flaps out low rpm, trying to find the closest place i can where there isnt any trees to try to make a short landing. I find a narrow place between some trees against a hill where i almost plop it right down to a stop. I hit shift-x to set the parking brake the instant the plane comes to a halt, but im on the marvoullous little incline that had helped stop my plane suddenly. I dont notice any parkign brake. The plane starts sliding backwards. I hit B and gun the engines. I dont want this thing to crash me back into the trees down the hill. Well.. this is when i get the bright idea to jump out of the plane pressing E.... I somehow thought this would just shut the plane down and bring it to a halt. Nope. Well.. as i stand there watching.. the Cub chugs up the hill... and then takes off... lol. It not only clears the trees, but then i watch it continue to gain altitude and disapeer slowly into the distance. It even curves off to the right to make sure i get a long view of it for a couple minutes as it disapeers into the blue. To make it even more fun i forgot the direction of the cache, and go in the wrong direction a few times till i finally narrow down where it was quite some time later.. all the while muttering to myself that i cant beleive i lost my plane. I do find it after a lot of hoofing (the cache not the plane). Thank god for that run mode.. But still wonder where that pesky cub went to. Good thing i can exit to menu after finding that cache. That would have been a hell of a walk back to town.
July 8, 201213 yr The Ghost Plane is in the game ! Good story :lol: If we had a mission editor, we could organize a SAR party to look for your plane :P
July 8, 201213 yr You know that really annoying female passenger for the Hamburger Missions? Yup. End of the runway -- some up elevator trim -- full throttle -- quickly hit 'E.' Dang I'm gonna miss her... :p0502: There's no place like this place, so this must be the place.
