- Freeflight, nothing I enjoy more than sight-seeing in my favorite aircraft, fire her up, some aerobatics, altitude tests, hign speed run, go check out my favorite landmarks, and back for a textbook 3 point landing.

I love doing multi-role stuff like F-18...or in this case F4U. But with one or the other,i have to say i am best air to air combat, but think bombing is the funnest for me. Especially low level high speed

Dogfighting is sort of my thing. I learned all kinds of maneuvers from an F/A-18 pilot in a virtual airline company I'm in, he played IL-2: 1946 for over 5 years, and is the best pilot in the game out of all of us. He taught me lots of tricks to gain a significant edge over my opponent.

On the other hand, I also love bombing runs. Maybe not in bombers itself, but more of multi-role fighters. I remember flying the Corsair and scoring perfect bombing runs, than going back up to shoot down a couple of planes, and fly home.

Dive-bombing to me is a joke, its too easy, just fly straight up, aim with your sights on your way down, and if you do it correctly, your bomb will hit right where your sight is aiming.

I'm going to have to say my favorite type of flying is the quick and fast turning and diving of a dogfight. Chasing your enemy rather than having him just lag along in a bomber or on a ship is just to easy. But when your at low to medium altitudes, you've got every chance of failure and success, riding on your skills.

I'll probably be doing frantic turns and loops screaming "get him off my six!!!!"

I would imagine it would help everyone get the feel of all of the aircraft. You can costumize combat conditions and practice a little I guess.

I'm sure glad we can do that since one of my friends is getting me a Dazzle DVD recorder for my birthday and I plan on making music videos and stuff like that with BoP and I can create some combat situations.

Oh yeah, I like bombing and shooting down bombers as well. Hehe.
