If I crash first I hide all the empties. Then I climb onto the roof of my house and jump off. On the way down I toss a lit match and a small can of gas to get the possibility of a post-crash fire. I always remember to strap on the GoPro cam 'cause you never know when your idiocy might go viral! :Money Eyes:

I don't crash often, but when I do...

 

 

I do it in something that is not easy to obtain replacement parts.

 

Stay on the runway, my friends.

 

 

 

 

I remember many years ago, on another board, in a European Air War forum, that someone posted that they were going to fly a campaign as a P-51 pilot, in real time, full realism settings and post his after action reports.  He did not post for very long, I presume he was shot down, killed in action, and jumped off of a tall building to make it as real as it gets.

Am still in my "learning stage", have my heart in my mouth when on approach then the ATC gives me the "go around" message, (my own fault for having my AI set too high) Thankfully I don't crash too often,

 

Have any of you ever played a Korean RPG like Aion? If so, you will know what I mean by saying that's probably one of the few places in the world that would take such an idea seriously and go for it!!! In Aion, you can lose hundreds of hours of grind-work and even hundreds of dollars in real money (if you buy gold to purchase manastones, Godstones etc) if the RNG (random number generator) goes against you, which its clearly rigged to do.

 

Talk about game pressure!

 

If things go bad it can take weeks or even months to recover.

I just did a flight in the 737NG with random failures and landed it with no right engine, main tank 2 fuel pumps stuck closed (landed with a fuel imbalance of 1000kg), no autopilot, half the DUs failed, IRS R failed, standby power failed, and a right engine and aft cargo bay fire. 

 

I think it's safe to say it's very difficult to crash in flight simulators  :lol:

Simple. I don't crash.

What happens if you crash a freeware plane?

 

The author receives your soul and hauls your firstborn off for work in the freeware mines.

 

 

Sadly, freeware pilots are way more skilled than payware pilots and that's why most add-ons come with a pricetag.

Tom, can we please have a "Huh??" button?

Want a really good incentive to avoid a fatal crash?  How about having the sim lock all copies of you flight log book if you have a fatal crash.  I've flown combat flight sims that essentlally do this if you get killed, which really DOES provide a good incentive to RTB alive.

If more freeware pilots crashed, freewarwe authors would have more firstborns as minions to work for them. Thus, they could produce more freeware. But as this isn't the case, most add-ons are payware.

Posting on forums whilst high on LSD is never a good idea!

Man, I really wish I was high more often...

 

 

 

 

Inb4 lame aviation joke

This thread reminds me of when I used to play Silent Service on the Commodore 64. You had to load the game via the tape cassette drive first, and that took up to to 20 minutes and was a very hit-and-miss business with more misses than hits. It definitely give you a reason to make sure you didn't get sunk, because the only way to restart the game was to reload it all over again (shudder).

I was tempted to write in a couple of days ago and day "I never crash"

 

False, I decided to have a bit of a muck around with the NGX and only loaded up 5% fuel.  My "test" flight went for a bit longer then planned and on final I ended up in a field short of the runway due to running out of fuel...

 

So yes, I have crashed... once LOL
