EDIT: I've had many crashes when trying to bomb radar stations... I guess I'll skip playing until those problems are solved.

Its a way of expressing respect for another pilot, friend or foe. Its a virtual representation of the fighter pilot brotherhood "club". So if you had a good fight, won or lost, you just give a little S!

Well that explains the ping

No. Well at least there was no mission ending messages. This has happened more than once, and then there has been other squad mates on the server at the same time that did not have the timeout, at least not at the same time as me

Did my first 'proper' bomb run in a JU88 last night on the server. Took off from Tramcourt and went 'the long way round' (Top Secret LW speak )and ended up over the target at G10 some time later. Set up for a dive bomb attack, bombs set to 'series' and down I went!
Was pretty wicked seeing the bombs straddle the target as I pulled out from the long dive, then set course for the long trip home again, landing some time later with not a lot of fuel left. Great fun.
I really want a yoke now.

ATAG_Doc just got one(ch yoke) and I have used my Eclypse Yoke sence CoD release, I cant imagine flying my 88 without it! To complete the imersion, I included a throttle quad(also ch products) and a CH MFP and pedals, that adds 9 levers, engine start buttons, and trim wheels, so thats 75 labled and color coded levers/buttons, No more keyboard combos haha

I still forget to arm my bombs somtimes lol

I have a Ch fighterstick and pedals, and a Saitek throttle quad, so I'm sort of torn between the CH yoke and the Saitek one, as the saitek comes with another throttle quad.

[JG52Krupi]

Looks like the ch one has throttles on top of it rather than on a separate unit..

Im sure this is a personal preference but the Saitek has a center detent(deal killer for me....click-click-click)

And Krupi is correct, the ch eclypse has 3 more levers on top (space saver!)

CH Products are made in the USA and originaly retailed for much more

I seem to have lost server 1 (and a few others) - doesn't appear in my server list since the last windows 7 update.
