Funny BOP stuff...
 

( WARNING: This is an hilarious post, take it easy ;) )

Does anyone have tryed to fly outside the map?
I did, and.... woooops.... i passed out and when i recovered i was flying opposite bearing and around... 10 km away deep into the map... i think my plane have been abducted by alien! Or, i've reached the earth limit lol. >Okay, let's say that in some other words... If you reach the end of the map you will disappear and then respawn back heading to the center few second later. Cheap but efficent way to escape a pursuer lol ( don't do that in fight it could be considerered not fair ;) )


Some other game limit:

Max height reachable: Around 12145 meters, flying with a Komet. That's my record :)

Max speed reachable: Around 1110 km/h. diving from that height with the Komet.

What about the buildings in Berlin that are built over some of the streets and how you can fly though the roof of most houses lol. Oh and when you see someone try to fly under the piers at Dover and crash into thin air :D

my ceiling alt has been 43,533 Feet, and dont know top speed :)

Managed to get the B17 to 427mph (683kph for those working in new money) in a dive!
As for altitude, has anyone flown under the beach on the Sicily map? Well below 0ft!!

A cpl of us has landed the B-17 on the roof of the Red October factory.
Map: Stalingrad
Mode: Sim
If u hit the right roof, u even get to park it inside one of the 'houses' on the roof there.

I hit the ceiling at 39.000 feet with the Mk. IX.

I have taken my Spitfire for a dip on a couple of occasions. Half submerged in the ocean and survived.
Does everyone know about the Easter egg when shooting at the sun?

Lol what's the easter egg? :o

Go into training and point your plane at the sun and start firing. Keep heading to the sun and keep firing, eventually you will shoot the sun down :-)

I wish this worked in multiplayer. The scope for tactical sun removal is huge !!

It does work in multiplayer mate but only effects the player to have shot the sun- have some pics that'll post when I get home!

Yep its a like a bad purple micro dot trip. :cool::-):-P

First time I played BoP I was totally drunk. I could have sworn I saw sheep in the fields near Manston. I told another player about it and he was like "I haven't seen any sheep". I flew back to look but there were none. I questioned my alcohol consumption after that

Had a session with Shadowcorp, Ratman, Skelatore and Davedog last night. Results as follows:
B17: max altitude 33,009ft, max speed in dive 515mph (upon which the wing fell off)
262 max altitude 35,639ft, max speed in dive 639mph (upon which the wings came off)
Comet max altitude 42,589ft, max speed in a dive 609mph

Good laugh too! Highly recommend it!

try this with the I16 the wings come off very easily.

Btw my best moment was when i landed a b17 on the volga on stalingrad winter and not a single crack in the ice you cant even do that in the arctic.

last night we found out that Dover has the best fish and chips ( and cheapest 6 packs)... we decided to landdown town on the roads first. ok let me ask are the roads really raised higher like a levee or a dyke?? keeping on them while landing proves interesting. after that we went to the beach and landed by the cliffs ( stay away from the rocks...and no you cant drive your plane into the water..). last thing due to time running out we went fishing on the piers. the whole deal was pretty funny. oh and dk, some time during all of this we saw your sheep! :grin:

some of those roads are like ski jumps too, you can take off at about 30mph lol

a challenge ,landing a spit on the crescent roof at templehoff on sim
the hoff obscure landing club

Its too bad that roof doesnt go right around the strip, you could have a decent Nascar race round that.

Has anyone manged to land on the top of the white cliffs of Dover? I have tried it umpteen times but cant find a spot to get down. I want to park right on the edge and get a photo, then try and get my Spit hanging over Some Moethers Do Ave Em style for my ultimate photo

Its funny if you land on the dock at dover and then edge right up to the drop into the sea. When you would expect the wheels to go over the edge and the plane to slam down onto the fusealage, it doesn't happen. The wheels drive off hovering in thin air for a good 5 meters until the whole plane suddenly tips into the drink lol

guess that is tonight or tomorrows quest....lol. i did "almost" to the right of the dock area ( as you are facing the sea ) but was going too fast and blew over the edge. tried to kick it in the @$$ and get airborne...no dice.

wonder how berlin city is to land....might have to visit the reichstag!

LOL i wanna try all the stuff you said!

I have been able to land a YAK 3 inside stalingrad city, reaching the main square, once there, i've noticed a nice fpuntain, i think is this one:

was a nice discovery :eek:

did it last night in a Po-2. not the best plane to use when playing with others...your tail gunner keeps shooting at them ( if you are in dogfight mode) so formation landing is out. BUT west of of the dock area is a light colored field. i landed from the sea inland. watch out there is gully there...but you will end up landing up hill. then turn around and cruise to the cliff. i ended up crashing just before i got to the edge. also i noticed there is road...might try landing on that next time then going overland. Stalingrad? going to have to try that...messed around in berlin a little....BIG city!

I have managed to land near the edge but can't get to the cliff edge to save my life. The kerbs on those roads are about 3 feet high and impassable. As you said earlier Bobby they are like dyke walls.

lol...yep. now last night in sicily...in a 153...i gunned then chopped the throttle and got up and over a road. but went too fast and ended up nose down, tail up on the other side...and still alive! couldnt figure how to right myself. dover is our favorite place for a "beach party" so we'll keep hacking away at it. would be a cool pick of the nose of the ac sticking out over the cliff....

have you landed a B-17 in France yet? :)

dont have the b17 yet. we were wondering about that the other night...if you could cross the channel and actually fly over or land in normandy or other parts of france....or if you will just respawn at a certain point heading back to the isles. might have to try that tonight.

you could on the xbox version at least, you can't fly very far into france, there is almost about 1 square mile at best and a ltitle bit of beach, but if you get the right spot you can set anything down on it.

sweet! thanks man..

no worries, its a shame it doesnt have a bit more of france for a proper cross channel strike map :)

yeah, ya know it should have had a d-day campaign or a few missions at least.

Try landing a IL-4 at the Brandenburg gate next.
