Not knocking the model, just it's application. To me FSX is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Another time I was online with another of the BlitzPigs and we flew CF-18s around his neck of the woods, Vancouver BC. After looking at the scenery for 45 min. or so we both said almost simultaneously on comms... "Now what?" Ummmm... "Land?"

I guess it's just not for me. To each their own though.

I do have to admit that if armed aircraft were possible in FSX it would be fun to shoot down an airliner or two on one of those uptight air traffic control online sessions, just to hear the wailing on comms. Now that would be fun.

Yeah, i know what you mean. I like it but i usually do my flying in "batches". Sometimes i fly FSX for a week straight and then i take a lengthy break. I don't own it so i only get to fly it when i'm visiting my buddy, but even if i did i guess it would be the same. I mean, i do the exact same thing with IL2...pick it up and fly it a lot for a month or so, then i take a break for a couple of months.

As for the bolded part, yes, that would be funny :grin:

How about a mysterious sighting of a Rundflugzeug RFZ-2/Vril on a reconnaissance mission or test flight?

oleg, dont forget this: when the pilots of the Luftwaffe gives the order of attack. said in the radio: "Horrido!". Horrido is a Latin word meaning frightful or frightening. Perhaps the Luftwaffe meant for it to mean "Fear me!"

Horrido is the equivalent of Tally Ho. i think

Really? I thought that ,,Horrido!" was told after a shootdown, something like ,,Hooray! Got him!".

ok, yes, "Pauke, Pauke" is when the pilot have a visual contact with enemy. and horrido when the pilot have a victory, instead of said Hei Hitler, they say horrido (is like 'anti nazi' protest and more saying "i do this for my country, not for a crazzy motherf###")
The British don't said "Hooray! Got him!", They said "Tally-Ho",
please correct me.

Tally Ho is a hunting cry. It wouldn't be used to signal a victory, rather it would be called on sighting the enemy.

it's been mentioned in some form or another in here before:

prototype testing:

for instance 19 squadron RAF was the first squadron to get cannon armed Spitfires. They were so disliked(due to the cannons jamming all the time) that eventually they requested and got their machine gun armed Spits back.

I'm wondering if this could be shown/reflected in a campaign?

second example; according to Alfred Price's The Hardest Day there was at least one Hurricane which had a 20mm slung under the wing. Could something like this be developed as a 'special mission'?

And secondly the end of the battle saw the beginning of the Blitz. maybe a little night time hunting with a Beaufighter, or the early attempts with Spits and Hurries?

and finally, athought about an older sim which also had a lot of mods made. European Airwar.

One of the commands you could add in there was extra squads =* with the * being a number up to 5. I'm wondering if something like this will be possible in SOW as compared to Il2 this might actually show reinforcements heading in to attack the enemy....

From St Horridus, patron saint of hunters. ;)
