Does anybody know which button to press to make my Spitfire to go into Assistance off mode? :P

i know how
 

you change from arcade to any any other mode........;)

Just be carefull you don't accidently switch the hypocricy on option ;-)

It's that switch next to the thrust vectoring control, you know.. just underneath the cloaking device activation knob.. :P

I'm bailing out of this thread.. it's f**ked.

I am already on the ground wrapping up my chute

Stick the kettle on.

hypocracy button
 

has been stuck since i started smoking. lol

I take no offense to it.

I'm very biased in favor of su-27 series... but the 35 can flat-spin too, and even fly backwards, a little bit, as long it's part of a double backflip.

Maybe that's what crosshair means, a backflip... still no way is a ww2 fighter gonna do that, not under control at least.

crosshair when you've got someone on your 6, the best thing is to either:

1) bravely run away, if you've got the speed or energy advantage
2) make a rolling out-of-plane turn. The bogey will be trying to line your flight path up with their guns plane, so don't fly a straight line across their field of vision. If you roll while turning, they have to aim for a snapshot instead, since you'll pass through their guns plane for only a split second.

One of the classic ways is to yank the stick back, apply a slow roll, and as soon as you evade their snapshot, keep turning (elevator) towards them, rolling to keep them in sight on your near wing or above your canopy. Basically you'll start barrel-rolling around them. If they don't start barrel-rolling back, they'll overshoot. Then it's their turn to bravely run away like Sir Robin.

oh hell yeah koz.....there is NO way a ww2 aircraft is going to get close to what the stuff now days can do. but, ya know that was a time that will never happen again! jet jocks are how old when they hit the seat?? in ww2....in the UK, US, USSR, and on the "otherside" ....these boys weren't old enough to VOTE or DRINK ( most states) in the US. automobiles had a hard time doing 80 miles per hour ( 140kph...quick calculation per rum induced whatever.. :) ) ....no these KIDS were strapping in the seats of cool as s#!t aircraft that was hitting unheard of speeds of over 450 mph.....going to 30k feet and doing actual dogfighting! no F'n respawn here....dead is dead. limited ammo...limited fuel...do what you go to do to win AND make it back to fight another day! there will never EVER be that opportunity....or God lets hope it never gets to THAT point.... for boys that young to do that. we read reports and view them....yeager, anderson, kit carson, galland, (HUGE apologizes dont know uk or russian aces names)....whatever nationality as MEN. and ya know, they were kids....boys. 18, 19, 20 something doing THAT for their country. and i am not trying to make heros out of winners. there were countless german, italian, japanese boys who strapped in their seats and headed into the skies in hopes of saving their nation and saving the world. my father, told me when i was older....reflecting on his war "victories" .... ya know...they were boys doing and giving everything for their country, patriotic, the same as i was...i got to go home to my mother and father...marry and have children and they didnt. yeah i am freaking ripped (not bad typing or grammer though you have to credit me there) and i will probably read this in the morning maybe be embarrassed .... but we play these games as games. they were based on a real life event that cost every nation heartache and suffering. maybe we ought to take a minute of our precious time and offer up a salute to those courageous boys...those with us...and those who never came home. then lets take to the air and do them proud. i put my axe to the soapbox...torched and solemnly swear i will never post after drinking again.
