Losing speed but not damaged :S

[MorgothNL]

Hey guys,

Can anyone tell me what is happening to my plane in this case:
I play the first campaign mission in the demo on sim mode... I complete the mission without visible damage (the 'plane damage indicator' in the 'B' menu is completely grey).... but still... every time when I go for the secondary mission...the landing... I cant even get close to the airport...because my plane keeps slowing down :S

I start at eg. 2000ft and 400km/h (btw strange you cant put it in Kts).. then my speed get lower and lower...so i have to lose altitude... I put 100% power the whole time.. but still im going slower and slower until in the end I crash :S

I only spend 8 minutes in the mission...so fuel is not a problem i assume (and this would make the enige fail completely anyways).

Anyone there who knows the thing stuppid me is not seeing?


PS. am i the only one who thinks the mustang flies like a car :S

Check you flaps.

As in 'they're down and causing drag' or 'they're not down and you should to not drop from the air'?

donno , could be a glitch

I'll try it again... I will bail out just before shooting the stukas... so im sure its not because of the plane.. and will check flaps and gear

I find as soon as you go for sim mode the "speed-bleeed" of the spit is fairly substantial and gets worse when over dover. Are you sure you are not getting damaged? After shooting 7 shades out of the bomber formation (and stukas all whilst avoiding the 109s) I've always landed at least some damage ... I have been using the aviator stick (and pad to check) and found more often than not the return to the airlfield is a limp and the landing the thing tricky (managed once on sim)...but the loss of speed is crippling alot of the time...the arcade mode you can practically break the sound barrier I don't know what to suggest apart from look at the plane model in HUD view for damage...

sh!t yeah! Sim you have all the tradeoff of altitude and flight speed, arcade you totally blast thorugh the huge bomber shooting 7 shades out of everything....it really is like 2 different games. Arcade you throw your plane around and pick up speed like no ones' business-it's about fun (and shed loads of it) sim requires smooth precise flying to maximise your success
